No worries, glad to hear it's cranking.

Hmmm... Not sure how that one goes.

Yes, that's correct.

The following gives you the result you want:

@               IN A            192.168.1.1 ; whatever your www's IP is

So your DNS will respond with the same IP no matter if it's example.org
or www.example.org (assuming www has been declared somewhere as well).

Hopefully this helps.


Cheers,
Mikhail.
