I agree. I used this document and am a beginner to DNS also. It was a good
straight forward read and I got my DNS working using it.
Note: RedHat 8 uses an include file in its named.conf - this is just to load
the key just like the HOWTO which types it in directly in the file.
I don't remember anything else that was different than just doing what the
HOWTO said.
Good luck!

Do you want to use it as just as a caching nameserver for you clients or
actually run DNS for you own localdomain?
If its the former just do
rpm -ivh bind
echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
/etc/init.d/named start
If its the latter
