	Shouldn't it be :
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" instead of "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"

especially if your db.127.0.0 file has a @-stuff SOA RR...

	Im not quite sure, but with the actual db.127.0.0 and your zone
definition, your DNS db has a PTR RR definition for 127.0.0.1.1 (which I
deem will never work) and no definition for 127.0.0.1...
	Moreover, I personally would have written : 
"1	IN	PTR	localhost."\
again because of the @ stuff in the SOA, which is supposed to complete
every non FQDN reference with the domain defined in the "zone" statement
of your named.conf file.
