Kevin,

I was getting nothing in the zone according to the named_dump.db.

So I unzipped named-checkzone from Bind 9 and ran that by cutting and 
pasting from my named.conf, and found a typo in the named.conf.

Sigh.

Fixed the typo and everything is working as it should.

Now I can ask my ISP to delegate my 64 addresses in-addr.arpa to me, as 
they indicated they were willing to do.....

And one less thing to change during the server swap.

Thanks all!
