How do I go about setting up DNS on an existing domain?

The domain is setup with the usual 192.168.x.y
255.255.255.0 configuration. Three servers, mail, file,
Citrix. DHCP. Win98 - XP Pro clients. Various network
printers. Website hosted externally, but with same domain
name. ADSL internet connectivity.

Do I just follow through the recommended steps as though I
was starting from scratch, or do I need to prepare other
components?

DNS is DNS, whether the domain exists or not (though technically,
without DNS there isn't an IP domain...).

If this is a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 domain, getting DNS correct is
very important.  You might want to look at the following:
