(Excused wrapped lines, I have an awful MUA)
If you have an appropriate ORIGIN you can do away with the absolute
names.
lan.trini. IN SOA hivemind.lan.trini.
master.hivemind.lan.trini (
^^^ You're missing something here.
; Aliases
;
gatekeeper. IN CNAME gatekeeper.lan.trini.
I'd be very surprised if BIND didn't ignore this line (if it lives in
the same zone file). A better way to do this is to stick a domain into
/etc/resolv.conf (or tell the windows clients about it in the network
settings).
; MX Records
;
lan.trini. IN MX 1 hivemind.lan.trini.
This looks like it ought to do what you're after. Is qmail configured to
accept email for the whole domain too? If:
dig lan.trini. mx
works then I'd look at qmail next.
