There are many ways you can do this:


site.com.               IN      A       192.168.1.100

or

@                       IN      A       192.168.1.100

or

                         IN      A       192.168.1.100


That last one will only carry down the previous record so be sure you 
put it at the beginning of your zone so it carries down site.com from 
the SOA record defined in the beginning. The first two you can put 
anywhere in the zone file.

Do not use a CNAME for the record type as I've seen it cause some 
weird issues for the domain in general when people do this.
