Server's DNS name

I have configured apache and bind, but when I start apache, it gives me the following output:
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using ns.asdf.tk for ServerName

ns.asdf.tk is the HOSTNAME.
It gives me the following output, because i commented the ServerName line in apache.

If I try to install qmail, it says:
Your hostname is ns.asdf.tk.
Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself..

What should I change in bind's configuration to tell qmail what my canonicla name is?

Re: Server's DNS name

Doesn't a line in /etc/hosts fix this?

/etc/hosts

...
127.0.0.1 ns.asdf.tk ns
...

It works now. The Reverse DNS was not configured correctly.
