Need help debugging my zone file

Easy fix.. These two records can not coexist:

    www.espersunited.com.           IN CNAME carter.espersunited.com.
    www.espersunited.com.        IN A 192.168.0.2

The error message was completely correct in saying:
    failed: CNAME and other data

In this particular case, the other data was an A resource record.

Hope this helps,

Len
