Need help configuring named

I'm trying to setup a DNS server on my home network so the computers on
my network can get their name resolution from one computer, but I'm not
having any success. From what I have found on the net I believe I need
a name caching server. The concept seems simple enough, but the
examples I found don't work for me.

I have caching-nameserver-7.3-5.FC5 installed. Can anyone help?

What examples have you found?

This has worked for many people:

If you hit a snag, post SPECIFIC questions about what you do not understand.
Include error messages if you are getting any...
