You may also want:
primary localhost db.local
With a db.local file which looks something like:
@ IN SOA blackstar.com fygrave.freenet.bishkek.su (
1997042401 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh 3 hours
3600 ; Retry 1 hour
604800 ; Expire 1 week
86400 ) ; Minimum 1 day
IN NS blackstar.com.
localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1
> i have db.127.0.0 as following :
> 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA blackstar.com. fygrave.freenet.bishkek.su. {
This line should end with `(' and not `{'. I'm not sure that you
should have trailing dots either.

The difference between blackstar.com (no dot) and blackstar.com. (with
a dot) is analagous to the difference between usr/bin and /usr/bin.
Domain names ending in a dot are absolute, whereas names not ending in
a dot are relative to the local domain, so blackstar.com is equivalent
to e.g. blackstar.com.blackstar.com.
