New Domain, DNS Problems...

Hello All:  I have just registered a new domain, and I'm having quite a bit
of trouble getting the DNS running.  I'm running BIND on Solaris 7.  I
created all the proper files to serve DNS for this domain, and locally
things are OK.  When I do an nslookup using a root server, I get the
following however:
Here's the result of an NSLOOKUP:

agony:~ >nslookup
Default Server:  agony.crcg.edu
Address:  207.252.32.123

> server h.root-servers.net
Default Server:  h.root-servers.net
Address:  128.63.2.53

> www.jrentertainment.net
Server:  h.root-servers.net
Address:  128.63.2.53

Name:    www.jrentertainment.net.crcg.edu
Served by:
- AGONY.CRCG.EDU
          207.252.32.123
          CRCG.EDU
- PAIN.CRCG.EDU
          207.252.32.124
          CRCG.EDU

I was figuring there must've been a trailing dot missing somewhere, but I
can't find anything wrong.  Here's my /etc/named.boot:

agony:/etc >cat named.boot

Here's the zone file, jr.db:

agony:/var/dns/namedb >cat jr.db
;
; Data file of hostnames in this zone.
;
@       IN      SOA     agony.crcg.edu. postmaster.agony.crcg.edu. (

;
localhost               IN      A               127.0.0.1
"hosts-0"               IN      CNAME           localhost
;
www                     IN      A               207.252.32.124
"hosts-1"               IN      CNAME           www
; %HOSTS_END%

What seems to be the problem?  I'm lost...  Thanks in advance!
