it is a huge ball of wax... they claimed they delegated everything but 
our nameservers are on .org and org is not delegated (according to 
dig)... what I did tempurarly was make the registers nameserver be the 
master but since it refuses to do a zone transfer all the internal IP;s 
and stuff are lost (as well as the MX since they do not offer MX [extra 
fee actually])... as to the CNAME issue I have used that for years (used 
to be a hosting ISP head sys/netadmin) and it is the recommended method 
in O'reilly... the only issue seems to be I have not done dns work in so 
long that I was used to bind 4 (but once I got used to the 8/9 semantics 
it seems to be working fine localy)
