domain problems

Ok, first, you need to have an rndc.conf file. If you don't have one
already, then let me know, and I'll send you mine to look at, or
better yet, the rndc.conf(5) man page is your best friend here.

Second, I can tell from your log below that you definitely don't have
an rndc.key file, create one. 

Not sure what your out of range error is all about, but it looks like
it might be a problem with your 68.37.x.x zone. When you said you
looked at the zone file, did you just go through it, and decided it
looked good to you, or did you actually check it with named-checkzone?

If you haven't done so already, I would strongly recommend that you
rtfm on the dns-HOWTO. From personal experience, setting up a full
name server with bind is not a walk in the park. I'll repeat this
again, setting up a full name server with bind is not a walk in the
park.
