dns server doesn't know itself (NT BIND v 4.9.5)

Here's the NSLOOKUP error message:
*** can't find server name for 10.1.1.254: non-existent domain
*** can't find server name for 10.1.1.254: non-existent domain
server: unknown
address:10.1.1.254
ping by name works...
nslookup works once I issue the server command...
regedit has no off the wall dns references left behind by MS-DNS
life looks almost good...
Everything I've read says you can let the server know about itself with
hostname(1) or resolv.conf. Hostname in network properties looks right(to
me) and I've setup a resolv.conf too. BTW - what is hostname(1)???
At the bottom of this email are all the config files used for this single
DNS server. It is multihomed 10.1.1.254 & 192.168.1.254, there are several
other services running on this test lab box.
There is no internet connection so I've rem'd the hints, but there must be a
formal way to tell the server it is a standalone resolver. (I didn't know
what its called so couldn't find it in DNS & BIND)
Here are the configuration files. It's a closed test lab, so forgive my
weird DNS senseless humor...
TIA for any assistance you can offer.
