How do I put this...????,

No, there is not a machine named bar.networks.com in the
foo.networks.com zone.  I know this because *every* name in
"foo.networks.com" will end in "foo.networks.com" (without exception).
Obviously, "boo.networks.com" does not end in "foo.networks.com".  Did
you mean "boo.foo.networks.com"?

Do not put your zone file definitions *in* named.conf.  Put them in
other files and reference those files in named.conf.
