Another DNS question

Ok, I got the active directory DNS set up and running in my new domian. Most things seem to work OK, but I can't figure out how to delete one of the top-level host records and have it stay deleted.

First, I should point out that the domain name for the domain I recently created and installed DNS, is the same name as our website. All of the NetSol dns records point to two DNS servers in a different domain that are hosting our current web servers as well as the DNS records for them. I'm not ready to point the NetSol records at the new DNS server just yet, since we have yet to bring the web servers over into the new domain.

When I set up active directory DNS in the new domain (on the same machine that acts as the primary DC for that domain), it automatically listed the top-level host record - the one that says "(Same as parent folder) host 192.168.0.1" - which is the IP for the machine acting as the DC/DNS server. Since the website is being hosted on a different IP, I changed the record to that IP.

After about an hour (when DNS wakes up and looks for updates, presumably), I noticed that the original IP 192.168.0.1 that points to the DC/DNS server had been automatically added again. The one that I had modified to point to the webserver was still there, though.

Can anyone tell me how to delete this host record once and for all?

Thanks!
