Bind zones

[peterahunt]

I am wondering the effect of loading a zone with no A record. I am trying to host multiple zones of my server, and switch it from static to dynamic.

I have set up a zone at dyndns, appawn.com, and then made zone files like this...
---------------------------------------------
$TTL 300
@ 43200 IN SOA ns1.appawn.com. peterhunt.silk.net. 2005010105 10800 3600 604800 86400
@ IN NS ns1.appawn.com.
@ IN NS fury.darncomputer.com.
@ IN CNAME appawn.com.
@ IN MX 10 appawn.com.
www IN CNAME appawn.com.
mail IN CNAME appawn.com.
ftp IN CNAME appawn.com.
update IN CNAME appawn.com.

;
-------------------------------------------

Any reason this should not work? - It seems to.

(I am still setting up my seconday DNS server, so I know that the backup DNS (ns1.appawn.com) is incorrect)

So how is it going to resolve appawn.com?
