Upgrade. It has security holes. See

It doesn't matter. The name server doesn't care what the names of the
zone files are. All that matters to it is that the zone files can be
read (or written) when necessary. So any string that is considered
legal by the OS's filesystem will be fine for a zone file name. Naming
the zone files after the zones they define is a good idea though. It
makes it easy to identify which file belongs to which zone.
