Which primer? It's wrong. The resolver code will always try to find
a nameserver for 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa (in your case) when doing
reverse lookups. It won't find one in your setup.

Up to here the zone is correct.

These entries need to be in db.192.168.1 and be listed in named.boot as
primary 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa db.192.168.1

And this needs to be in db.localhost and be listed in named.boot as
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa db.localhost
(you can change the file names, just make sure named.boot and the files
agree)
Oh, leave the $ORIGIN line out of both new files also, it's redundant.
Both of the new files also need the same SOA section at the top
@ IN SOA my.domain. root.my.domain. (
961230 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS curly.my.domain.
The NS record isn't, strictly speaking, part of the SOA but it is
also needed in each file.
