Perhaps I am confused by terminology.

I am referring to this:

Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
0.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
127.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
2.0.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
255.255.255.255.IN-ADDR.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone: D.F.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
8.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
9.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
A.E.F.IP6.ARPA
Mar 20 21:13:34 jump01 named[25739]: automatic empty zone:
B.E.F.IP6.ARPA


Those zones add to the count of zones loaded, but will not show up in
your named.conf.

If people are relying on the number of zones loaded verify that zones
are available on the slaves, they need to take the automatic empty zones
into consideration if they are using different versions of BIND.

Sorry if I caused confusion.
