The zone 0.0.127.in-adr.arpa seems to be mistyped; it probably won't
receive a lot of queries.	:-)

Anyway, as long as named.boot is an adequate zone file, the file name
isn't technically incorrect, only confusing. Personally, I like to use
subdirectories and unambiguous file names, e.g.
db/in-addr.arpa/0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.db.
