You're quite right. My response yesterday was "shot from the hip" -
and missed the mark.
It had occurred to me that, if 'named' had not yet started, it didn't
matter WHAT was in the local zone file. ;-) Oops.
Yes, there should only be one NS record - the local server - in the
127.0.0.1 reverse DNS zone file. I believe that Mr. C. Liu said this,
yesterday. ;-) The redundant resolvers will take care of the other
concerns.
