The zone file contains names relative to the zone name (integral.on.ca). You have a definition for integral.on.ca in this file, but doesn't end in a period, so it's relative to the zone name: integral.on.ca.integral.on.ca. You have two solutions: integral.on.ca. A 24.112.14.35 or A 24.112.14.35 (that will be relative to the @, which is the zone name).
