help with dns

[seanheng]

hello falko and everyone else trying to help me understand

ok i read the howto on traditional dns so what i get is i need to edit my named.conf
and this is what i did from the default one of the installation
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "localdomain" IN {
type master;
file "localdomain.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};
zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 .0.0 .0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa" I$ type master;
file "named.ip6.local";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.broadcast";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.zero";
allow-update { none; };
};
// i added this after reading the howto on traditional dns
zone "72.195.64.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "seanhostip.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "seanhostings.com" IN {
type master;
file "seanhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";


then i created the seanhostip and seanhost zones
seanhost.zone looks like this
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA games.seanhostings.com. root.localhost (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
IN NS games.seanhostings.com
seanhostings.com IN A 64.195.72.81
www IN A 64.195.72.81
games IN A 64.195.72.81

seanhostip.zone looks like this
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA games.seanhostings.com. root.localhost. (
1997022700 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS games.seanhostings.com.
81 IN PTR games.seanhostings.com.
