"Empty zones" and BIND 9.4

Hi all,

There was big discussion about empty-zones feature in BIND >= 9.4 on Red 
Hat's bugzilla. We have found two problems around this.

- RFC 3330 says that loopback could be 127/8. Does anybody here know how 
configure 127.in-addr.arpa. zone as described in RFC? $GENERATE 
directive isn't sufficient for solve this problem.

- RFC 2181, section 7.3 tells about MNAME record in SOA. It's name of 
primary server. All empty zones returns name of zone instead primary 
nameserver (could be "localhost.")

Thanks for any hints,
Adam
