I remember there was a reason why I did that, but I don't remember what the reason was anymore.

I assumed it was in your zone originally, but since I've deleted your previous post, I couldn't go back to look. If it wasn't there originally though, that would explain why your ftp and web servers were complaining about it, and refusing to start. > I'm looking at webmin and see the root zone and the danielcproductions.net > zone.

You probably don't really need a zone for localhost, though I myself had one when I first started with my own domain, and found one was already provided with bind by default, when I moved to debian. I've also seen docs on the web recommending that you create one.
