Add an A record to your zone file for that zone, update your serial
number and reload that zone.

In the section of your zone file when you define the SOA for xyz.com and
the MXs (if you have any) for xyz.com, add an A record for xyz.com.

It'll look something like this:


$TTL 172800
@       IN      SOA     banba.now.ie.  hostmaster.now.ie. (
                        2000092101      ; Serial
                        14400           ; Refresh
                        7200            ; Retry
                        2592000         ; Expire
                        172800 )        ; Minim

        IN      NS      banba.now.ie.
        IN      NS      blofeld.now.ie.

	IN      MX      blofeld.now.ie.

	IN	A	212.17.32.32
