Try adding this zone to named.conf :
zone "161.78.209.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "209.78.161";
};
and a zone for your domain:
zone "steveandjane.net" {
type master;
file "steveandjane.net";
};
Then create the zone files for the 2 new entrys. The in-addr.arpa is for
reverse lookup of your machine. So you dont see this message "can't find
server name for address 209.78.161.140(the ns1.steveandjane.net server).
Server failed. "

Server Failed because it couldnt find a name for the ip 209.78.161.140.
Also you'll need the zone for steveandjane.net for the A records.
