Domains without 'www.', very frustrating

Hi,

Before you shout at me, I'm seen various threads on this already and
tried all the solutions but they're still not bloody working. I've
been trying to get this working for about 2 hours now.

I've setup a new server, jakeg.org, and http://www.jakeg.org is
working fine. As is http://[anything].jakeg.org. But I can't get good
ol' http://jakeg.org without a subdomain at the front.

Here's my Master File:
[snip]
$TTL 14400
;
@	IN	SOA	ns.jakeg.org. hostmaster.jakeg.org. (
			2004021103
			10800
			3600
			604800
			86400 )
; name servers for domain
		IN	NS	ns.jakeg.org.
		IN	NS	ns2.jakeg.org.

; mail server for user at domain
		IN	MX	5  mail.jakeg.org.
; set domain = www.domain
		IN	A	217.199.184.151
; Addresses of hosts
*.jakeg.org.	IN	A	217.199.184.151
ns		IN	A	217.199.184.151
ns2		IN	A	217.199.184.151
mail		IN	A	217.199.184.151
www		IN	A	217.199.184.151
ftp		IN	CNAME	www


[/snip]

I've tried adding the following, trial and error, but none work (and
I'm sure *.jakeg.org. for subdomains isn't perfect, but at least it
works for now):

*.	IN	A	217.199.184.151
*	IN	A	217.199.184.151
	IN	A	217.199.184.151
@	IN	A	217.199.184.151
*jakeg.org.	IN	A	217.199.184.151
*org.	IN	A	217.199.184.151

I'm using BIND DNS 9.2.1, making changes through Webmin, and I click
'Apply Changes' (restarts BIND) after I make changes.

PLEASE!!!! Somebody help me :(

Jake.
