We can't really tell what you've done, you'd be better to post us your
configuration files. Start with /etc/named.conf and the newer files
in /var/named/chroot/, specifically the ones you're modifying.
Make up some IP addresses that aren't in use, use something from one of
the private IP ranges. e.g. If your network uses addresses 192.168.0.0
to 192.168.255.255, pick one or two that aren't used by your network as
examples to test with.
Making DNS serving work with dynamic IP addresses is more tricky. I
wouldn't attempt that until you're familiar with configuring static
addresses into it.
