I am sooo confused...

>westwood.st.mycompany.com. IN   SOA     westwood.st.mycompany.com.
>root.westwood.st.mycompany.com.

the zone above is  0.0.127.in-addr.arpa, NOT westwood.st.mycompany.com., so:

@ IN    SOA     westwood.st.mycompany.com. root.westwood.st.mycompany.com. (
     numbers )


>; Name servers
>westwood.st.mycompany.com. IN   NS      westwood.st.mycompany.com.

again, that's out of zone.  use this:

@ NS    westwood.st.mycompany.com.

@ORIGIN 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
1 PTR   localhost.


>184.155.151.in-addr.arpa.       IN      SOA     westwood.st.mycompany.com.
>root.westwood.st.mycompany.com. (
>         2002050210      ; Serial
>         3h              ; Refresh after 3hrs
>         1h              ; Retry after 1hr
>         2w              ; Expire after 1week
>         1h              ; Minimum TTL of 1 day
>)
>
>; Name Servers


>184.155.151.in-addr.arpa.       IN NS   westwood.st.mycompany.com.

shorthand

@ NS   westwood.st.mycompany.com.


>; PTR records for reverse resolution

$ORIGIN 184.155.151.in-addr.arpa.
141 PTR NIMS-NW6.westwood.st.mycompany.com.
etc.



>********* db.westwood.st.mycompany.com *********

you need 2 NS's here.

shorthand:

; Host Addresses
localhost A 127.0.0.1
NIMS-NW6 A 151.155.184.141
wilshire A 151.155.184.142
