 Dumb Question: If you don't know anything about DNS on Linux or have very little
                experience with DNS, why are they having you fix this?
                Doesn't your company have a DNS Admin?


Anyway, if you need to get caught up and don't have the Grasshopper book
handy, try this: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html

Troubleshooting DNS is not for the faint of heart.
Based on what I see for misconfigurations in my mail logs
its terrible out there.

Good Luck.
