The "@" signs on the first NS and MX records are redundant.  That's OK.
But if you want your second sentence, above, to be literally correct,
you must add a line soon after the SOA and NS records:

@		IN	A	209.91.106.8

[Again, the "@" is redundant and I would normally not use it, but it
also "says what you mean".]

Since you have defined them to have the same IP address, then it really
doesn't matter.
