	What zones are you serving on this box?  It sounds like
	you are using one to high up the hierarchy for the reverse
	zone.

	In particular you should not be serving (primary / secondary
	for) any of the following "181.171.207.in-addr.arpa",
	"171.207.in-addr.arpa", "207.in-addr.arpa", "in-addr.arpa",
	"arpa" or ".".

	Mark
