Hey A,

Don't worry about the A or CNAME records right now. They are all placeholders (parking)

You need to log in to the registrar and change the NS records.

If you're still using the mail and webhosting at dreamhost, you should change those NS records to:

ns1.dreamhost.com.
ns2.dreamhost.com.
ns3.dreamhost.com.
