=========================================================

But wouldn't I lose the ability to have the name "dns1" unless I set up 
another box ?

I'm still looking at "views" and would like it known by another name 
internally, like "dmz.internalname"  or "dmz" for short.  And isn't it 
those PTR records that allow the http browsing for "light-family.com" or 
"www.light-family.com"  or (probably less desired) "dns1.light-family.com" 
and "mail.light-family.com"  ??   Or, did I "accidentally" set that up 
with Apache ?   It just seemed odd to me to name a name server 
mail.blahblah...

I used the tools at dnsstuff.com , and get:

dns1.light-family.com. Reports no A records (NODATA type 2)

I'm guessing I still need more tweaking there also...  As long as square 
it away before SBC propogates at 5:30 PM tomorrow I should be good for the 
weekend.

Thanks for all the help, Mark, I really appreciate your time.  I'm hitting 
the sack right now - tomorrow's another long day.
