[Tfug] need a DNS guru to review my zone files--please

[Neil Short]

I have a computer NOT connected to the Internet -
providing open wireless leases.

My hope is that simple names (or even ANY names) will
resolve to the ip of the server (to provide apache
pages to the wireless clients).

the name of the server is amos.prophet
and so far that's the only name that will resolve. It
would be nice to have the following names also resolve
to the same IP:
amos
home

below are my configuration files:


named.conf:
//  /etc/namedb/named.conf

options {
        directory       "/etc/namedb";
        pid-file        "/var/run/named/pid";
        dump-file       "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";

        query-source address * port 53;
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
        type master;
        file "master/localhost.rev";
};

zone "prophet" {
        type master;
        file "amos";
        };

zone "5.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "amos-reverse";
        };
