1) install bind-utils, bind, and (optionally) bind-chroot
2) add a line similar to the following to your /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
3) review the Bindv9 documentation now on your system in
/usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.2.P3/arm/
4) configure bind as usual
5) Make sure your domain registry has the IP of your primary and 
secondary servers so other people can find you.
6) # chkconfig named on

I set up a series of chrooted servers recently for my network and it 
went remarkably smoothly (although I do have previous experience using 
BIND).
