For those that care, I got forward and reverse DNS working. A few minor changes ($ and @ in wrong places).
Here is the URL to the zone, named.conf, and message log that worked: http://www.gotopinion.info/linux/index.html
Some people asked about a few of the named.conf entries and what the zone files that were referenced. I commented part of my named.conf and here is the explanation:
// Prevents lookups for network addresses ending in ".255" zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.broadcast"; allow-update { none; }; };
// Prevents lookups for network addressing ending in ".0" zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "named.zero"; allow-update { none; };
Thanks to all the recommendations! You helped me out. Now on to SendMail configuration!

Jim, I must apologise, looking through all of my named config files I can't find one that has "@TTL" in it. I just mis-read something.
What I do have is a couple of files that don't have the $TTL declaration as the first line, but begin with the "@ A IN SOA..." line and no preceeding "$TTL".
The only problems I have are with some of the dynamic DNS addresses, and for some reason with all of the speedera.net addresses like www.nasa.gov, which always come back unknown. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
