Two DNS newbie questions...

Question one:
I've just got DNS working on my domain (Bind 8.x) after pouring through
numerous FAQs and examples. And I can easily add new hosts and have them
resolve. But how do I add an entry so that the domain name itself
resolves to something. e.g., I have
foo.bar.com => 192.168.1.1
baz.bar.com => 192.168.1.2
etc.
But how can I get
bar.com => 192.168.1.3
Do I have to add a root level zone for com to resolve bar.com? (And
somehow pass off other lookups to the real root server for .com?
Question two:
I have a cable modem with a single static IP address assigned to me.
Right now, DNS believes I have a whole class C block 24.234.55.xxx
because I can't seem to find a way for DNS to subnet below the octet
level. Is there a solution to this so I can get reverse lookups
working properly?
Thanks!
