Thanks to everyone for the replys, this information will be very useful.

Barry,
Can you tell me how you got  the info about  the files. I am just getting
started doing DNS so I figure it might be might be useful to know how to do
something like that.  Thanks for your help.

Jim

Add:

nationwide.com.  IN A  198.8.253.111

to the nationwide.com zone file.  You might also want to change the entry
that currently looks like:

www IN A  198.8.253.111

to:

www IN CNAME nationwide.com.

so that you only have the IP address there once.  In that case, you should
also change the PTR record in the reverse zone to point to nationwide.com
rather than www.nationwide.com.
