This setup was done on OpenBSD 4.1. BIND is installed on OpenBSD 4.1 by default. The files shown below have the paths mentioned at the top. The named dir (/var/named/) has dir's in it that have the config files. Make sure all files and directories are owned by root:named. Check the /var/log/messages for errors on startup. If you dont have any localy resolvable hostnames just take out the last few lines in named.conf.
To start the server use the command argument "-4" for ipv4 only in /etc/rc.local file. The named server should start on boot.
The config below is very simple and has only one domain (domain.lan). It uses the ip block 192.168.0. It uses comcast's name servers for forwarding queries it can't answer. Run only on your internal interface. Change the ip addresses to the internal ip addresses you want to use.
The first file below is /var/named/etc/named.conf. This is the main Bind config file.

allow-query { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0/24; };
allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0/24; };

The next file below is the /var/named/standard/root.hint file. This file has the root dns servers in it.

Reboot after all your files are in place and configured. Bind should start on boot.
Notes: "rndc reload" will force a zone transfer in bind9.
