Exactly as shown?  Where?

An excerpt from the records file looks like this:

  [admin named]$ cat records
  a www nobaloney.net 123.123.123.1 24
  mx - nobaloney.net High nobaloney.net
  a - nobaloney.net 123.123.123.1 24
  ptr www nobaloney.net 123.123.123.1 24
  [admin named]$

An excerpt from a zone file looks like this:

  www.nobaloney.net.      in      a       123.123.123.1
  nobaloney.net.  in      mx      30 nobaloney.net.
  nobaloney.net.  in      a       123.123.123.1

Neither looks like your example, which is:

> A record webspyder.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.5
> reverse lookup xxx.xxx.xxx.5 - webspyder.com
> A record ws-raq-01.webspyder.com - xxx.xxx.xxx.5
> reverse lookup xxx.xxx.xxx.5 - ws-raq-01.webspyder.com
> Cname record www - ws-raq-01.webspyder.com

So what do you mean when you say "Exactly as shown"?

If you typed in exactly what you've shown anywhere, then where?  It's
possible I suppose, that the original RaQ works like that; my RaQ2 and
RaQ3i don't.

(note that the final periods on the domain names were NOT typed into the
Cobalt RaQ2 gui interface, updating the dns from the gui interface
automatically puts them into the zone file.
