This is my current DNS example.com.db zone file. I followed a tutorial. It works, because when I point to this DNS from another server via resolve.conf, it will actually forward me to the right IP when I do "ping example.com".

;
; BIND data file for example.com
;
$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     example.com. info.example.com. (
                            2007011501         ; Serial
                                  7200         ; Refresh
                                   120         ; Retry
                               2419200         ; Expire
                                604800)        ; Default TTL
;
@       IN      NS      ns1.example.com.
@       IN      NS      ns2.example.com.
example.com.    IN      MX      10      mail.example.com.
example.com.    IN      A       192.168.254.1


www                     IN      CNAME   example.com.
mail                    IN      A       192.168.254.1
ftp                     IN      CNAME   example.com.
example.com.            IN      TXT     "v=spf1 ip4:192.168.254.1 a mx ~all"
mail                    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a -all"

Right now,

ping example.com....goes to 192.168.254.1. That's great!!! it works!

My question is--how can I add something do this file so that when my other servers:

ping dbserver1....goes to 44.245.66.222
ping cacheserver1 ....goes to 38.221.44.555

I want to use it like a universal hosts file for my machines.
