Solved!! was: DNS, redux

Hi Kevin (and everyone else), and thanks for the help!!

   It turns out I had indeed fixed all the problems except my own 
patience. It just took a little bit for the '.ca' root name servers to 
pick up the changes I made in my Registrar's files. It would seem all is 
well, now!

   I did shorten the TTL after my first mistake (and then having to wait 
a full week; grrr!). Now the TTL on my zone(s) is 24h. The slaves are 
setup as, well, slaves :) and are working properly (so far as I can 
tell). Now I just need to start adding the rest of the zone files and 
then start changing all the Registrar records.

   Thank you (all!) again, I would be lost without you all!!
