If that's true, the record should look like this:
fred IN A 192.168.1.3
www.batouch.com. IN CNAME fred

Notice the "." following badtouch.com. That's required
to make it so that www.badtouch.com doesn't actually become
www.badtouch.com.twopoint.com. This is probably what you're doing
wrong. To see how you ought to do this, read below...

This is, like I said above, probably the problem. What you
should have, if you're running BIND 4, is the following:
in /etc/named.boot (or named.conf, whatever) :
primary badtouch.com db.badtouch.com
in /var/named/db.badtouch.com (or whatever) :
... Standard header info for DNS record ...
IN A 192.168.1.3
www IN A 192.168.1.3
That should do it for ya. If you have any more questions, or
you're running BIND 8, send me a private e-mail and I'll walk you
though it step by step in more detail.
Try to keep all of your zones seperate; don't give in to the
temptation to smash them all in one big file. It violates the concept
behind DNS (which is zones), and makes it generally a pain in the arse
to maintain.
Good luck!
