DNS, redux

[Madison Kelly]

Sorry for the delay... New baby's consume many cycles... ;) (even when
they are your friends'!)

The setup is like this;
Master zones are on 209.167.86.46
Slave zones are on 209.167.86.38 and ..34
The IP slice of our public IP block is 209.167.86.32/27

On the registrar for my domain I set the NS to
'ns1.madisonave.ca/209.167.86.46' and 'ns2.madisonave.ca/209.167.86.38'

I am currently setting up the 'madisonave.ca' zone and once it is up I
have about 15/20 more zones to move. The rest are for my new job so I need
to be sure I have the right setup files.

Below I will attach a protion of my 'named.conf' and the full zone files
for 'madisonave.ca' and 'alteeve.com'. The later is a live domain and will
be the second to try migrating. I will also include the relevant portions
of the named.conf file from the slave (both slaves are the same).

Just before though, do I handle the names 'ns1..' and 'ns2..' the same as
any other domain name or do I need to somehow "register" them as name
servers? Also, beyond the registrar record pointing at 'ns1..' and 'ns2..'
how do I make sure other NSs know where to look for those name servers? I
ask because I've noticed some registrars won't let you enter a NS IP
anymore, only the FQDN.

  Thank you very much! The files follow;
