	The MNAME (origin) is supposed to be the name of the master server,
	master.roundtuit.com in this case.

> root\@roundtuit.com.
	
	The RNAME field is supposed to be a email address converted to
	mailbox format.  i.e. root at roundtuit.com -> root.roundtuit.com

	There should be an A record for galifrey.roundtuit.com.  Currently
	it is a CNAME.  Using a CNAME breaks DNS lookups.
