domainkeys and check-names

Hello List!
I have read some notes in the archives of this list, as well as a
variety of online docs about implementing domainkeys in bind9, and the
confusion surrounding underscores as part of that.
I understand that underscores are fine in zone files, but are illegal in
host names.
I understand that check-names allegedly only checks host records, and
this is where my own confusion lies. We have a zone that we have added
two TXT records to for our domainkeys. When I checkconf the server, I
get the following errors about the zone:
external/db.homefrontlibrary.com:17: dk._domainkey.homefrontlibrary.com:
bad owner name (check-names)
(full zone snip is below)
My question is: if check-names ignores TXT records, why is it
complaining about this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
