I am trying to upgrade from 8.x to 9.1.0 but I am getting the following error
with all my zone files:
  Feb 17 12:54:16 lookout named[17958]: dns_master_load: pz/127.0.0:11: not at top of zone
  Feb 17 12:54:16 lookout named[17958]: dns_zone_load: zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading master file pz/127.0.0: not at top of zone

line 11 is the first PTR record:

========== my pz/127.0.0.0 file ===============

I am getting the same thing with all my zones though, this is just the simplest
one.

========== my named.conf file ===============
options {
        directory "/var/named"; 
};                     
                     
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "root.hints";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pz/127.0.0";
};

...
==========                    ===============


thanks for the help. 

also I really think the bind-9 documentation should have more example zone
files.

cheers, Angus.
