	I did not say to put a @ at the start of every record.  Please
	re-read my first reply.  I said to get rid of the white-space
	before the @ and implied that you need to do the same of the
	other records that wern't inheriting the name from the record
	before.

	Mark

e.g.
$TTL 3600
@   IN SOA ns1.domain.com. root.domain.com. (
                             20020132        ; Serial
                             10800           ; Refresh
                             3600            ; Retry
                             604800          ; Expire
                             86400 )         ; Minimum TTL
 
; DNS Servers
      IN NS           ns1.domain.com.
; Machine Names
localhost       IN A    127.0.0.1
ns1             IN A    xx.xx.xx.xx
@                   IN A    xx.xx.xx.xx
; Aliases
www             IN CNAME       xx.xx.xx.xx
; MX Record
@                   IN MX   10      domain.com.
