Without reading through what you have (sorry, my hands are really full 
right now) I would suggest you check into http://lifewithdjbdns.org/ and 
DJB's own docs.

The biggest issue you will face is, it is not as complicated as it 
seems. Follow the directions, join the list for djbdns. When posting to 
the list, outline what you are trying to do, what you have already 
tried, what sources of information you based your configuration on.

Hope that helps.
