Thanks for the response. I had removed the A record after it didn't work. I was speaking in past tense there. One of the DNS checking tools I was using went nuts complaining about something not being right so I undid my changes. I'll recreate it.
The idea behind having two IP addresses and setting up the DNS servers was because I wanted to eventually setup some redundancy and play around with running a server out of my house. I'll create the second A record for jetbbs.com again but when we get into the new house, I'll change it so the IP address for the second A record points to my server at the house. That way, if one server goes down, people can still connect. It'd be a great opportunity to learn this stuff a bit more I think. Thanks.
