This is usually done as

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {

because that is the name of the ZONE.  What you defined as the zone was
for address space XXX.127.0.0 which is not, I think, what you wanted.
The name of the zone is also used i nthe zone file.  (Same problem on 
the slave..)

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
