Okay.  With the Open Source version there isn't a Bind server available, so 
you have to build one in a particular way.  It's a pretty involved setup 
and I am documenting it for anyone who wants to ask.  I'll be around.  

Two answer my own two questions.  Start with the syslog 
and /opt/scalr-server/var/log/service/php-dns_manager.log.

Then,

   1. Open port 53 traffic in any firewalls
   2. apt-get install bind9 bind9utils
   3. chroot jail the bind server int /var/named ;then start it and look at 
   those logs because the scripts are particular about where all the 
   components belong
   4. Open Apparmor to allow this new environment
   5. Setup scalr-server.rb with a new scalr.dns.global.default_domain_name
   6. At your registrar point a domain to have your new bind server at a NS 
   name server.
   7. In the Scalr UI, "Main Menu | DNS Zones | Default Records" create an 
   NS record
   8. Create a new DNS zone for the domain in step 5 above. 

That's approximately it.  There has to be more, but I need to go walk my 
dog and get to a Christmas party later today.  But I'll gladly help anyone 
who needs it.  I'll try to stay in the IRC #scalr channel while I'm around.
