Well, without seeing the zone file, it's impossible to tell what you did
wrong.  If I had to guess, it would be that the file started out looking
like:

@ IN SOA ...
  IN NS ...
  IN A ...

and you put something in between the NS and A records.  As a result, the A
record no longer applies to the domain name, it's being applied to the new
name you added.
