So, the zone name is proxy1.central.edu and in the zonefile you define the NS as proxy1.central.edu (i.e. the domain and the dns are the same) and right after that the A record for proxy1to be 127.0.0.1. Also note that with this zonefile, the FQDN for host proxy is: proxy.proxy1.central.edu!!!
If that's what you want, try the following zonefile:

Code:

$TTL    86400
@               IN SOA  proxy1.central.edu.       root.proxy1.central.edu. (
                                        44              ; serial (d. adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum

                IN NS           proxy1.central.edu.
proxy1.central.edu.                IN A            172.16.0.3
proxy           IN a            172.16.0.3
                IN AAAA         ::1
