I am at my wits end, and I hope that some one can help me out.

I am using bind-8.2-6 (from RedHat 6) and a program called Webmin
(http://www.webmin.com/webmin) to add DNS information. I have added 
the following zone into my name server:

goatfest.com.	IN	SOA	ns1.moewes.com. cmoewes.moewes.com. (
			948664137
			10800
			3600
			432000
			38400 )
goatfest.com.	IN	NS	ns1.moewes.com.
www.goatfest.com.	IN	A	63.226.143.34
goatfest.com.	IN	MX	10 mail.moewes.com
goatfest.com.	IN	A	63.226.143.34

Whenever I do and nslookup for the mx record (or try and send email)
I get the following results.

> set q=mx
> goatfest.com
Server:  www.goatfest.com
Address:  63.226.143.34

goatfest.com	preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.moewes.com.goatfest.com
goatfest.com	nameserver = ns1.moewes.com
ns1.moewes.com	internet address = 63.226.143.33

and of course it can't resolve mail.moewes.com.goatfest.com (it should 
be mail.moewes.com. I am at a complete loss for what the problem is. If
anyone can point something out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
