Thanks to all the help. "Out of zone" and "not at top of zone" errors 
are fixed.

but one problem is still there, it can't resolve any name outside it's 
own authoritative zones. here's what i get when do an nslookup on 
google.com:

bash-3.00# nslookup
 > set type=A
 > google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


thanks,
jett
