Means there is an error on LINE 2 of db.127.0.0 file.

Also, LINE 4 of localhost.
You shouldn't be using an individual zone file for localhost.
localhost will be a subdomain of your FULLY QUALIFIED domain.

create a zone file for your domain or your server, and add an entry for
localhost as a subdomain. 

yourdomain.com. IN SOA  yourdomain.com.   you.yourdomain.com. (
                           2001021400  ; Serial
                           7200        ; Refresh after 3 hours
                           3600        ; Retry after 1 hour
                           604800      ; Expire after 1 week
                           86400  )    ; Minimum TTL of 1 day

                           IN NS    yourdomain.com.
                           IN A     123.45.678.910
localhost.yourdomain.com.	IN A	127.0.0.1 

; Or  you can use the following
; localhost			IN A	127.0.0.1
