I hope that you will forgive my cc'ing your letter back to the list,
but that is where it would have eventually had to go, anyway.  I do not
yet have any experience with using a database as a back end to BIND.
Somebody else here might.

I can tell you that the zone file above is wrong.  The first two data
elements of the SOA record should be the name of the name server, and a
valid e-mail address.  The NS record should also contain the name of
the VALID name server - localhost.[yourdomain] is fine, as long as you
have the forward-DNS A record in your zone.[yourdomain] zone file.  It
should NOT be in the reverse DNS zone file.

I would suspect that what you might want to have in it is as follows
[assuming that "$TTL 17600" preceded all of the above].  Note trailing
dots.

Name			ttl	rdtype	rdata
=== 			==	====	======	
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.	17600	SOA	"localhost.juliedomain.uws.edu.au. j.xu at uws.edu.au. 1 10800 3600 3600000 86400"
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.	17600	NS	localhost.juliedomain.uws.edu.au.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.	17600	PTR	localhost.juliedomain.uws.edu.au.

The "localhost.  IN  A       127.0.0.1" record belongs in the forward
DNS domain, not the reverse DNS domain.
