Hidden Master

[Chimento, Douglas]

no , because now the SOA is NOT resolvable, and that CAN"T be good. 
I will review the RFC'S to see if that is the case. 
But I think this means that the DNS server is not authoritative for the zone
and thus , no authoritative answers will occur.

You should put it in the SOA.  You don't need the A record unless you're
using dynamic updates (you shouldn't normally have any records in your
public DNS that point to private addresses).
