	Is resolv.conf pointing at your local server(s)?  jameshastie.com
	does NOT exist on the Internet.
 
> The db.jameshastie file and the named.conf file are here:
> 
> http://home.iprimus.com.au/j_hastie/named.conf     -- named.conf
> http://home.iprimus.com.au/j_hastie/db.jameshastie  --db.jameshastie

	Nameserver MUST NOT referece CNAMES.  This won't affect local
	lookups but will affect caches that learn about the CNAME.

	@	        NS      ns 
	ns              CNAME   jason
	jason		A       192.168.0.1

	@	        NS      ns 
	ns              A	192.168.0.1
	jason		A       192.168.0.1
