spaces in named.conf

Terry, I can't help with your problem, but I do note that internal.net IS a 
legitimate network. Whois reports:

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.ULTSEARCH.COM             202.84.198.59
    NS2.ULTSEARCH.COM             212.100.224.102
The previous information has been obtained either directly from the
registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than Network Solutions.
Network Solutions, therefore, does not guarantee its accuracy or
completeness.

I suppose it's unlikely that this will cause you trouble, but in my 
experience this is the kind of thing that will someday cause you a subtle 
and VERY hard to hunt down error. You might want to consider transitioning 
away from this use.
