No, the name doesn't matter.. as long as your boot file knows what it is
called.

I take it all of the files in the third column are in the /etc/namedDB
directory?

change the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. to @
delete 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. out of the IN NS blackstar.com. line, and
then just for eye functionality line the IN NS back up to where it was.
make 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR localhost. look like:
1 IN PTR localhost.
after these changes, as root do a named.reload
try you nslookup again.
go buy O'Reilley and Assoc. DNS and BIND from your favorite bookstore.
Your loopback is 127.0.0.1 not 127.0.0 and you NS line is saying it is
127.0.0 The other changes I made are mostly cosmetic except for the
first change which is related to the loopback address stuff.
