installed ispconfig v3.0.0.7
it's using mydns and I figured out that to use old style 'blank' host names I had to use:

example.com. IN A 10.10.1.2

note the period at the end of the base domain name listed above.

ispconfig's interface (and I suspect mydns) was refusing

IN A 10.10.1.2
@ IN A 10.10.1.2

I even tried to escape "\" the "@" and the 'blank'
:)
which didn't work either.

the 'blank' record was needed for 'NS', 'MX' records as well.

now it correctly resolves for:
http://example.com
and
dig @example.com example.com mx
:)

before I could only get it to resolve for added machine names, like:
http://www.example.com
