Cannot create A record issue

[Jsilliman]

Check this out:

dig @localhost 69.62.x.x

 10800   IN      SOA     a.root-servers.net. nstld.verisign-grs.com.


Shouldn't this be going to my local server for SOA ?

The issue is that when I create a new A record, such as,
remote.example.com, I cannot do a dig on that record, only mx and ns
records.
