The problem is with the two A records. A records have to point to IP
addresses, not to hostnames. Something like this would be more
appropriate:
IN A 24.218.62.62
www IN A 24.218.62.62
where 24.218.62.62 is the IP address of srn.ne.mediaone.net. If you want
to alias a host to another host, you need to use CNAME records.
