Quick DNS question

[Robert Everland III]

What do I put on the right hand side? The domain name? Thanks for the help
though I knew there were little things I messed up, but they just realized
that I can turn off recursion and it won't let them query outside domain
names. Take me a  novice at DNS to put them in thier place
