No you're not. You're providing a deliberately obscured named.conf
file which has a passing resemblance to what might be on your system.

Post the file *AS IS*. Unedited. Not mangled in any way. Since you're
deliberately not providing us with what your name server sees, there
is no point at all in trying to analyse what you've posted. It's not
the same as what's really happening on your system. As soon as you
said that you'd mangled the file I decided not to waste any time
looking at it, Would you show a traffic cop a drawing you've made of
your driving licence instead of the genuine document?

Yes.
