[C[CChange in the Syntax?

[Kevin Darcy]

The owner names are not dot-terminated, so named is assuming that the origin
should be appended to them, resulting in "doubled" names like
"0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa". The "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" record
could just start with whitespace (or "@"). The "1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" record
could just start with "1". E.g.

@       IN      SOA     sruben.local.scalabletech.com. ruben.wynn.com. (
                        1111 ; serial
                        43200 ; refresh
                        3600 ; retry
                        2419200 ; expire
                        86400 ; default_ttl
                        )
        IN      NS      sruben.local.scalabletech.com.
1       IN      PTR     localhost.

I find this more readable. Alternatively, you could just dot-terminate the names.
