The above line must be:

0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ...

This line must also begin with "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa."

You can avoid this problem in general by using "@" as a placeholder for the
zone name in these boilerplate records.

You're missing the "in-addr.arpa." suffixes on these lines.

You're missing a field in the SOA record.  It should be:

westwood.st.mycompany.com. IN SOA westwood.st.mycompany.com. root.westwood.st.mycompany.com. (

You need a "." at the end of the hostnames.
