I am having trouble setting up named. The error message is as follows:

I am following the instuictions in the book but they don't seem to remedy the
problem... what am i doing worng.
here is my db.eecue.com file:

// Example secondary config entries. It can be convenient to become
// a secondary at least for the zone where your own domain is in. Ask
// your network administrator for the IP address of the responsible
// primary.
//
// Never forget to include the reverse lookup (IN-ADDR.ARPA) zone!
// (This is the first bytes of the respective IP address, in reverse
// order, with ".IN-ADDR.ARPA" appended.)

// Before starting to setup a primary zone, better make sure you fully
// understand how DNS and BIND works, however. There are sometimes
