You probably have a label (part of a hostname) somewhere in that file
that's longer than 63 characters. The overall length of a hostname can
only be 255 characters, but each label has to be 63 or less as well.

Also, I think you want in-addr.arpa, instead of in_addr.arpa. Spelling
counts in DNS.

Good luck,

Doug
