Stumped w/DNS

[latcarf]

Okay... I am new to Linux and servers. Some background, I have a fresh version of FC4 and have been trying to set up BIND for DNS (for 2 weeks now) to host my own website. I have been using the documentation from the main site of this forum http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/#Websites.

Other stuff that may be important... I have a box that is dedicated to this task only, behind a Belkin 802.11g router (cabled not wireless), a static IP, and default gateway IP.

I tried doing this with the Sys Settings> Server Settings> DNS using the GUI. I establishing a forward zone for my site www.thefractalfarm.net and a reverse zone for the machine that is the server and hosting the web site. This is all I should need correct? When it makes my zone files it is not putting in the Class (IN) and none of the A records I add using right click add. (the BIND also is running chroot so I put the files in both name locations)

When I saw this was not working right I manually redid the files, restart, and still no dice.

Do I have to wait a certain period for the nameserver to be valid on the internet? i.e. using it to forward my domain from my host site. I went out there and edited it in and it keeps telling me it is not a valid nameserver.

Can I post my zone files and a screen shot of my BIND screen out here if someone will check them?

I could probably use a link to a tut that breaks it down a little better because this is ALL new to me but I thought I was getting a pretty good grasp of the docs from the link above.

In order to solicit some help I am posting the usual DNS file info I have conf or changed in an attempt to start DNS

;resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search thefractalfarm.net
nameserver 70.61.19.54
nameserver 24.29.1.219

;last 2 entries added to named.conf
zone "thefractalfarm.net" {
	type master;
	notify no;
	allow-query { any; };
	file "thefractalfarm.zone";
};

zone "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	notify no;
	file "192-168-2.zone";
};



include "/etc/rndc.key";


;forward zone file "thefractalfarm.zone"

Hopefully someone will see what I am doing wrong.
