Hi,

you should not use cname records.

Given that zachfine.com is your domain and the other domain 
names are domains that are hosted by you and you are using Bind 
8.2.2 PL7 try something like this for your master domain:

--- Schnipp ---
@	IN	SOA	zach.zachfine.com. czyz.zachfine.com. (
                2001011501
				8H
				2H
				1W
				1D )
                       NS	ns1.zachfine.com.
                       IN	MX	10	mail1.zachfine.com.

localhost	IN	A	127.0.0.1
zachfine.com.	IN	A	207.207.83.53
ftp	IN	A	207.207.83.53
www	IN	A	207.207.83.53
ns1	IN	A	207.207.83.53
mail1	IN	A	207.207.83.53
--- Schnapp ---

An the entry for the hosted domains should look like:	

--- Schnipp ---
@        IN      SOA     henrylubatti.com. czyz.zachfine.com. (
                2001011501
				8H
				2H
				1W
				1D )
                       NS      ns1.zachfine.com.
                       IN	MX	10	mail1.zachfine.com.

localhost	IN	A	127.0.0.1
henrylubatti.com.	IN	A	207.207.83.53
ftp	IN	A	207.207.83.53
www	IN	A	207.207.83.53
--- Schnapp ---

That works fine for me, check if the timings are good for you. You 
should restrict zone transfers for security reasons in your 
named.conf.

HTH
