"bind' as in name services.

Hmm...  The first place to start is:

	RFC 1033 "DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS OPERATIONS GUIDE"

Then back up to:

	RFC 1034 "DOMAIN NAMES - CONCEPTS AND FACILITIES"

These are available by mailing to the server, But check with
your local network wizzards first.  I suspect they have most
of them on line.

More than anything else get help from the SOA (Start of
Authority) for your name space.  They have already done this
stuff.  In many cases you will need to 'go with the flow'
and follow any conventions in place at your site.
