DNS Query

Hi all

I've used Cpanel/WHM for as long as I can remember now and am not an expert user by any means, heh

I've just rented a Windows 2008 server and have a leased license for Plesk 9.2
I've setup the program ok and "think" I've got everything set correctly
I was wondering if someone could confirm I've got the DNS template set correctly?

I'm using the private DNS option and will be pointing my domains at the single domain

The hostname/main domain I intend to use is - www.thedarkages.info
So I've setup ns1/ns2 entries at my registar and pointed them at the single IP on my server (94.228.32.196)
I've repointed one domain (www.uoforums.net) to the ns entries (ns1.thedarkages.info/ns2.thedarkages.info)
I've attached a screenshot (zonetemplate.png) of the current zone template, I hope it's setup right? (The a records for the ns entries confused me a bit, I wasn't sure what they should be set to)
(See attached dnsentries.jpg file)

Oh also, does anyone have any recommended security software to install alongside Plesk to keep the server safe?
On Centos/Cpanel I was used to the CSF firewall which had a lot of optons and I don't really trust the bog standard windows firewall to be honest heh

Thankyou in advance for any advice

I think 2 additional NS records for ns1/ns2.<domain> should be specified as well.
