BIND question

Hi all,

I am running BIND v9.1.2, and having some problems.  The main problem is a
conceptual one.  I have a total of 5 ip's that I am authoritative for,
4 of them in sequence (*.245, 256, 247, 248) and one ending in .211.

What I would like is to have the .211 ip be my primary domain,
domain1.com, and also my nameserver (ns.domain1.com).  The people
providing the ip's will act as secondary ns.

The questions i have:
is it incredibly wrong to have ns.domain1.com as a cname to my main host,
domain1.com?

thing seem to work fine setup that way.  if it IS wrong, this should work
fine for aliasing domain1.com to ns.domain1.com
domain1.com.	IN CNAME ns.domain1.com

Also, do I need to have separate zone files (and entries in named.conf)
for CNAME's of external domains?  that is,

domain2.com.	IN CNAME domain1.com.

does not work (bind complains about out of zone data)

I've tried using A records also, with no luck.

I've been through the mrdns.com website, the DNS howto, and I bought the
DNS and BIND book by Albitz and Liu.  The one topic none of these seems to
cover is hosting multiple domains.

thanks,
.cfg
