The above looks correct. You should create A records for the domain name
and create CNAME records for the www. names pionting to the A recs. In
theory you can't create CNAME records for the domain name because the
standards state that if you have a CNAME then you can not have any other
records with the same name ( which would prevent having SOA and NS records
for the domain ).

OK. I hope you're using BIND on that...

No problem. But take some advice for next time : please don't use all
capitals in subject lines, and showing your real configuration will make
things easier.
