Jacob,
Glad to see that your problems are resolved. You are correct in
stating that the second SOA record is the right one. The syntax of the SOA
demands that the first name be the hostname of the DNS server, and the
second one be the email address (with the '@' replaced by '.') of the DNS
maintainer.
Regards,
Kenneth
