DNS E-books?

Hello everyone, I have a general question for you. My co-worker and I had to set up a new e-mail domain today and were struggling with it. We figured it out, but here's our process, we need some help.

We registered a domain at godaddy.com. Let's just say...test.com.

What DNS records need to be set up for it to work? We ended up creating an A record and an MX record for mail.test.com and it worked.

Is there any good e-books or websites out there that lay out DNS records in an applicable real world manner? I understand the theory behind DNS, but I'm totally lost when it comes to setting it up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not ebooks, but these books are useful:
DNS and Bind (5th ed.)
MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-291)
