It also won't allow you to do domains that start with numbers, I've noticed.

Its not a bind thing or anything, its just a Cobalt GUI issue.  So, the
workaround it to manually add the records in the /etc/records file (Cobalt's
dns settings file).  Then 'save DNS changes' from the GUI and it should kick
in.
