Setting up DNS using the manager
I am just trying to wrap my head round using the DNS manager. I think I have everything set up properly, but my domain is no longer accessible. I'll freely admit that I am entirely new to all of this. This is what my zone file now looks like after having been generated with the manager:
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.linode.com. gregs.tcias.co.uk. (
2007021421
7200
7200
1209600
86400
)
NS ns1.linode.com.
NS ns2.linode.com.
MX 10 mail.teacupinastorm.com.
@ A 70.85.129.121
www CNAME teacupinastorm.com.
gregs CNAME teacupinastorm.com.
I think the A record is wrong and should read:
teacupinastorm.com. IN A 70.85.129.121
Then again there might be something else wrong with what I have entered.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Oddly enough when I try and browse to the website it says it can't find the server. BTW this is not a new set up, i.e. until I started playing with the DNS manager I could quite happily browse to my website.
I wouldn't need to make any change to my Linode would I? Or am I missing something else entirely?

In the answer section the A name part pointing to the IP address is missing. Any ideas?
