    are you setting up a cache, or an authoritative server?
    IOW, do you want Bind to resolve names for clients (they'll will
    have it in /etc/resolv.conf and equivalents), or do you want it to
    publish names?
    
    You are doing both, but if you want to have this Bind resolving
    names for clients (external cache), being authoritative for
    0.0.127.in-addr.arpa doesn't IMO make sense.
