You can't just type "/etc/namec.conf", it is a text configuration file, not a program. Try using vi or another editor to modify it.
I recommend using djbdns instead of BIND. It was written with security in mind (BIND has a long history of security problems), and (IMO) is easier to manage. You can get it from

nsquery
nsquery(1) General Commands Manual nsquery(1)
Name
nsquery - name server query command
Syntax
/usr/ucb/nsquery [ lookup ] [ host ] [ server ]
Description
The command provides an interface to obtain host name and address information.
If you specify host, the command obtains information about the specified host. If no host is specified, the command obtains information
about the local host system.
If you specify server, the command queries the BIND server that you specify. If you do not specify a server, the command queries the
default BIND server.
Options
lookup Retrieves the host name, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and aliases of the specified host. If no host or server is specified, the
command obtains information about the local system from the default BIND server.
If you do specify the lookup option, the command obtains the information about the BIND server and host specified (or their
defaults). If the system from which you issue the command is a BIND server, and you do not specify the lookup option, information
about only that server is retrieved.
