Hey Dan!!

A record is inside the Master zone.. (correct me if I am wrong though..)

<<snip>>

$TTL 86400
nathan.net.             IN SOA   dns1.nathan.net.  root.nathan.net.  (
                          2000041901      ; Serial
                          10800           ; Refresh
                          3600            ; Retry
                          604800          ; Expire
                          86400  )        ; Minimum

                          IN  NS          dns1.nathan.net.
                          IN  A           209.204.28.46       <--- A RECORD?

Yes,  I only have one at the moment.. but have a public secondary DNS 
ready to put as #2.  Nonetheless.. that shouldn't keep my DNS from 
working unless my connection died.

>Also, your not even showing a host file for dns1.nathan.net in the registry,

is NOT the authority for nathan.net Registrant:

dns1.nathan.net is a A file in NATHAN.NET (To clarify: NATHAN.NET is 
being hosted by my main ISP at the moment.. until I feel confident 
enough with my server system to move NATHAN.NET and all MX records 
directly to this BSD server. With Quick DNS Pro and my old Mac DNS 
server, I never had any problems like this.)

This might be a little unorthodox but should still work..correct?

Thanks Dan!!
