Error in localhost config?

When running a DNS analysis tool ("DNS Expert", by Mice&Men) against
my nameserver (BIND v8.2.2P5 on a Linux box) I received a warning
about my localhost config.
This was the warning:
"The Reverse record "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" does not refer to
the host "localhost.snydernet.lan"
Sure enough, the references *are* different.
In file "db.snydernet" I have this record:
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
And in file "db.127.0.0" I have:
1.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA. IN PTR localhost.snydernet.lan.
So here, finally, is my question: should both references be set to
localhost.snydernet.lan or should they both be set to just localhost?
Or is this config really ok, and the analysis tool is just complaining
about a non-issue?
Thank you.
