Add an A record for your domain that points to your web server.  You
can do this by adding:

     A    x.x.x.x

just before or just after your NS records.

Since you have multiple web sites, you might have to define
"domain.com" in your web server config (unless you have a
default/catchall). I don't know if or how this would affect the Google
Pagerank.
