My DNS Configuration

I should add I tested this from hotmail, trying to send myself an email and this is what it said when it came back to my hotmail account..
 This is the Postfix program at host penguin.cbits.ca.

  Subject: [TLUG]: My DNS Configuration


  Hi all,

  I set up my DNS and have let it propagate around the world for a few days. I thought I had set up my MX records correctly but apparently not. Here is all my DNS  information...

  IP: 66.11.182.5
  domain: cbits.ca
  machine name: penguin.cbits.ca

  Initially my IP resolved to jay.tor.istop.com but I asked my ISP to change that to penguin.cbits.ca. I have set up the nameservers where I registered the domain to point to my machine and istops nameservers.

  NS1 = penguin.cbits.ca
  IP    = 66.11.182.5

  NS2 = ns.istop.com   
  IP    =  66.11.168.199

  I'm going to change the second one to everydns.net but for now I just wanna fix the DNS information on my box. 

  Here is my named.conf file. I have put an entry for both cbits.ca AND penguin.cbits.ca. Is this necessary or can I get rid of the penguin.cbits.ca.?

  key "key" {
          algorithm       hmac-md5;
          secret
  "Some key";
  };

  controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 allow { any; } keys { "key"; };
  };

  query-source address * port 53;
          listen-on port 53 {
                  66.11.182.5;
                  };
          listen-on port 53 {
                  192.168.0.1;
                  };

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

  zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
          type master;
          file "named.local";
  };

  zone "cbits.ca" {
          type master;
          file "/var/named/cbits.ca.hosts";
          };

  zone "5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa" {
          type master;
          file "/var/named/66.11.182.5.rev";
          };

  zone "penguin.cbits.ca" {
          type master;
          file "/var/named/penguin.cbits.ca.hosts";
          };


  In /var/named there are files for each of these entries... here is what they say..

  FILE: cbits.ca.hosts

  $ttl 38400

                          3600
                          604800
                          38400 )
  5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa.       IN      NS      penguin.cbits.ca.
  5.182.11.66.in-addr.arpa.       IN      PTR     penguin.cbits.ca.

  Can someone point out the error of my ways. If you need more information, just ask. Thanks! :-)
