Try again, you haven't given things enough time to propagate around the internet, 24-72 hours is still the usual wait time. > So todays question is - what do I need to do to keep my server closed, get > proper dig replies and get my A records showing up on whatsmydns.net? What is the purpose of the server? are you going to be hosting zones that need to be accessible from other clients on the Internet (authoritative) or is it just a DNS server that you can utilize to handle your queries (recursive)? or are you doing both? If you need recursion then you'll need an ACL to say which clients are allowed to perform recursion to prevent it from being an open recursor.
