1) it should be "IN-ADDR.ARPA" (missing the "R" in "ADDR")
2) hostnames in the 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA SOA should be FULLY qualified
   (i.e., "hostname.site.net.") otherwise a host name will be interpreted
   relative to the assumed ORIGIN (0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA) so that it will
   become "hostname.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA". In short, your NS record:

        IN NS ns            ;WRONG!
        IN NS 10.1.2.3      ;RIGHT!
        IN NS ns.site.net.  ;RIGHT!

I have encounter the following error message in /var/log/messages:


Jun 29 10:23:13 servername named[281]: sysquery: findns error (NXDOMAIN) on
ipaddress.0.0.127.in-add.arpa?


The machine is running Redhat 6.0 . Does anyone have any ideas on what to be
done to get rid of the error ?
