Yes, I'm sure.  I'm moving this domain from another machine where I
resolved the issue by changing the PTR for the IP address (adding
www).  The A record for example.com was still a local IP.

Yep, I do.  But it's irrelevant, as it's the reverse I'm interested
in.  I'm not sure how to interpret your CNAME suggestion though - you
can't define CNAMEs when other records exist (e.g. NS, SOA, MX, or
what have you for @).
