I got the A records set back up again.   Here's the important stuff I think.

Does it look right?

yes, although you may safely skip the localhost, and you may skip ".jetbbs.com."
or replace simply "jetbbs.com." by "@" (if cpannel supports that - it should)

e.g.

jetbbs.com.     86400   IN      NS       ns1.jetbbs.com.

@               86400   IN      NS      ns1

For the reverse DNS pointer records, I think when I contact GoDaddy, I'm
going to ask if they can setup a PTR record so 104.238.117.105 points to
franklin.jetbbs.com and 132.148.11.44 points to franklin.jetbbs.com as
well.   I think that'll help with mail filtering and stuff.

that will help your mail in getting delivered in the first place ;-)

I had removed the A record after it didn't work.   I was speaking in past

complaining about something not being right so I undid my changes.   I'll

I'd like to see which tool and what complaints were they.
some tools are good, some insist on useless things and some miss important
things...

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.

good idea.
