In-addr zone does not work on primary

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	BIND 8.2.3 treats all error as fatal and refuses to serve
	the zone if it detects a error.  By default named checks
	PTR records in zones ending in-addr.arpa to ensure that
	the names match those allowed by RFC952 as modified by
	RFC1123.  You have a name that falls outside of those that
	are allowed.

	billing_laser.prairiegroup.com is not a legal hostname.

	You can override the default using check-names.

	Named logs all errors that prevent it loading a zone.
	Please check your logs in future.
