Just a few additional comments on this:

Your entries for 'reader' and 'fwobsd' are probably not
what you really want.  By defining several 'IN A' entries
for the same host name, you effectively get bind to serve
these addresses in 'round robin' fashion whenever a client
looks up that name.

Another way to look at this is that you don't name hosts
in DNS, you name IP addresses.  If a host has several IP
addresses, eg. because it has several NIC's, you should
give a separate name to each IP address.  In your case,
you could do something like this:

  reader  IN A     192.168.0.4
  reader0 IN A     192.168.0.4
  reader1 IN A     192.168.1.2

or

  reader0 IN A     192.168.0.4
  reader1 IN A     192.168.1.2
  reader  IN CNAME reader0

Note that you may define as many names for an IP address
as you like.  A case where you'd definitely want to do
this, is with the name for the name server host itself.
Put in something like this:

  ns      IN A     192.168.0.4

Then you may use 'ns.local.lan.' in all your 'IN SOA' entries
instead of the name for the actual host.  Then you only need
to change one entry in case you want to change to another
name server host.

Also, note that this has to be an 'IN A' entrym not an
'IN CNAME' entry, as the name in the SOA has to be an 'IN A'
entry.
