I'm getting really confused about the format of the database file for my
nameserver database.  What is it that I'm doing wrong?  I've read through
piles of RFC's and then consulted the manuals for my machine (absolutely
no help at all...).

Here's my file

-----cut here-----
$ORIGIN Widener.EDU
@          IN    SOA     aixps2.Widener.EDU. (
                         20     ; Serial
                         3600   ; Refresh
                         600    ; Retry
                         3600000; Expire
                         60)    ; Minimum
                 NS      aixps2.Widener.EDU.
aixps2           MX      aixps2.Widener.EDU.
                 A       192.55.239.55
cyber            MX      cyber.Widener.EDU.
                 A       192.55.239.13

Any advice or directions for further reading would be greatly appreciated.
The machine I'm using (if it matters, which I doubt) is a PS/2 Model 80
running AIX PS/2.  The only restriction listed in the manual is that it
supports the "IN" type only.

Thanks in advance everybody.
