With BIND, the @ symbol is an alias for your domain, so you could just put
this in your zone file:
@ IN A 10.123.123.123
I have it up at the top near the SOA record. Not sure if this @ symbol is
in the DNS RFC's. I'd guess you could also have a fully qualified entry,
but i haven't tried that:
domain.com. IN A 10.123.123.123
Most of the time you'll want MX records for domain.com pointing to your
mail servers, and an A record pointing to your web (or mail) server. Then
use Apache virtual hosting to make www.domain.com and domain.com goto the
same page.
