$ORIGIN .
$TTL 604800     ; 7 days
@       IN SOA  localhost. info.localhost. (
                                34 ; 
                                86400      ; 
                                900        ; 
                                604800     ;
                                86400      ; 
                                ) ;
                        NS      localhost.      ;
                        MX 10   mail            ;


*                       A       192.168.1.2
foo.com.       CNAME   foo.dnsalias.com.


although it seemed to resolve..i just get this nasty error in my log 

 [ID 295310 daemon.error] master zone "foo.com" (IN) rejected due to
errors (serial 34)
