Your domain is orionsys.com not rigel.orionsys.com.

This is majorly screwed up.  Don't put IN-ADDR.ARPA pointers in your zone 
file.  Besides, the pointer is wrong anyway.  It would be 9 for rigel not 1.
Also, you are missing punctuation in your MX and CNAME 
records.  You better re-read the book because this is hosebagged.

Here is how you should do it:

-------------------- zone file for wldigital virtual domain -------------

;
;               Addresses and other host information.
;
@       IN      SOA        wldigital.com.       craigs.solar.os.com. (
                                96072100        ;Serial
                                43200           ;Refresh
                                3600            ;Retry
                                3600000         ;Expire
                                2419200 )       ;Minimum
;               Define the nameservers and the mail servers.
                IN      NS      solar.os.com.
                IN      NS      venus.os.com.
                IN      A       199.232.136.79
                IN      MX      5 solar.os.com.
                IN      MX      20 venus.os.com.
;
;
;               Define the hosts in this zone.
;
www             IN      CNAME   wldigital.com.
;

-----------------------------  named.boot  -------------------------------

directory       /etc/namedb

; type    domain                source host/file                backup file

cache     .                                             named.ca
primary   0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA                          localhost.rev
primary   wldigital.com                                 wldigital.hosts

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are on your own for IN-ADDR.ARPA stuff as it will not work anyway 
unless your provider points his reverse lookups to you.  Also, make sure 
your local host 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA stuff is right.  That's easy since 
every host in the world has the same one.


Good luck,

Craig
