A redirect such as this needs to be done on the webserver, not in DNS.

But perhaps what you're really asking is how you make mysite.com point to 
the same webserver as www.mysite.com? You do it something like this:

mysite.com.		SOA	<normal SOA-record etc...>
mysite.com.		NS	<your nameserver, repeat for your second nameserver>
mysite.com.		A	1.2.3.4
www.mysite.com.	A	1.2.3.4

In other words, just give mysite.com an A-record pointing to the same 
IP-address as www.mysite.com, and requests for both will end up to your 
webserver. And if you then want http://mysite.com to be redirected to 
http://www.mysite.com you'll need to configure your webserver accordingly.

But, it looks like your DNS-setup is already working, since you've decided 
to create www.mysite.com as a CNAME pointing to mysite.com, and mysite.com 
has two A-records, 64.136.21.218 and 64.136.29.218.
