	Firstly.  Do not edit configuration files before posting except
	to 'x' out keys.  You hide and introduce errors by doing so.

	You introduced a error in your editing.  You lost the closing
	brace to forwarders.

	Your error is that you failed to close options.  zone are top
	level objects or second level objects within views.
