Need help with DNS configuration for my domain...

I set up my BIND configuration using "DNS and BIND, 4th Edition" from
O'Reilly.  I'm using bind-bind-9.2.5-r6. I was following the examples in
Chapter 4, substituting my domain for
the example one.  However, when I use my new DNS server the only thing
that works correctly is digging 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.  Every other query
gets me either NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL.  Here's the /etc/hosts file I want
my DNS config based off of:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.4 catherine.espersunited.com catherine
192.168.1.3 camille.espersunited.com camille
192.168.1.2 bullet.espersunited.com bullet


Here's /etc/bind/named.conf:

options {
        directory "/etc/bind";
        pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
        };

zone "espersunited.com" in {
        type master;
        file "db.espersunited.com";
        };

zone "2.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." in {
        type master;
        file "db.2.1.168.192";
        };

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa." in {
        type master;
        file "db.127.0.0";
        };

zone "." in {
        type hint;
        file "db.cache";
        };



Here's /etc/bind/db.espersunited.com:

$TTL 3h
espersunited.com.  IN SOA bullet.espersunited.com.
michael.bullet.espersunited.com. (

Here's db.127.0.0:

;Host addresses

Here's db.db.2.1.168.192:

And finally, here's db.cache:
