-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Looks fine to me. However, I'd suggest removing localhost.localdomain IN A 127.0.0.1 from the zone, since that really has no business being in a publicly accessible zone, same goes for class a, b, and c addresses. General rule of thumb is that if named-checkzone doesn't complain, you're most likely just fine with the zone.
