	I recently looked into BIND 9.1.0 -- there have been 224 changes 
in BIND 9.1.x since 9.1.0-REL, and many of them appear to 
significantly affect the server.  Please upgrade to at least 
9.1.3-REL if you are going to continue to use BIND 9.

	These three are your mail server and your two nameservers for 
your zones.  They cannot be CNAME aliases like this.  These names 
must resolve directly into IP address, although you're welcome to 
make them the same IP addresses that you have for leon & aziz.

	Things like this will show up in the logs, if you've got the 
logging set up correctly within BIND and syslog.  Other than that, 
upgrade to 9.1.3-REL and try again.
