do you understand your need to do forwarding?

paste this logging statement in for your startup debugging phase:

logging{
channel my_file {file "/var/log/named.run"; severity debug; print-time yes; };
category default {my_file;};
category panic {my_file;};
category packet {my_file;};
category eventlib {my_file;};
category queries {my_file;};
category lame-servers {null;};
category cname {null;};
};



>zone "future2005.com" {
>         notify no;

what´s your reason for no NOTIFY?

>@       IN      SOA     dns1.future2005.com. frank.future2005.com.(

the preceding  number is maximum negative cache TTL

>         IN      NS      dns1.future2005.com.
>         IN      NS      www2.future2005.com.

no MX records?
no A records?





the following typically go in the your db.reversezone file´s, not in your 
forward zone file

>1       IN      PTR     dns1.future2005.com.
>2       IN      PTR     www2.future2005.com.
>3       IN      PTR     gateway.future2005.com.
>
>(these are my dns and www servers)

they will be inaccessible with no A records

simplify the text by dropping the IN network class, it´s the default.
