Well, the db.127.0.0.1 I had I changed back to db.127.0.0 as well as 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. I read some more again on the localhost since that evaded me since I first started to use DNS servers. If you have DNS & BIND, read pg. 67, the loopback address [3rd edition] In short is says: db.127.0.0: 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa IN NS host.domain.tld. 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa IN NS anotherhost.domain.tld. 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa IN PTR localhost.
