	Well it helps if the zone contents are valid.  You had no NS record
	and the PTR line was wrong.

e.g.
1 PTR localhost.
	
	It also helps if you have the right number of zeros (you are missing
	one).

	The client may still be using the "ip6.int" suffix.

	Also, strictly, 
 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa
	should be the zone as ::1/128 is ip6.arpa and ::/96 is in-addr.arpa.

e.g.

@       0       SOA     drugs.dv.isc.org. marka\.andrews.isc.org. (
                        9 3600 1200 604800 3600 )
@       3600      NS      drugs.dv.isc.org.
@       3600      PTR     localhost.

	You can then use the same file for 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa and the
	two reverse zones for IPv6.
