Bind won't start

[Al Sparks]

Mark called it.  I corrected the error, and it worked.  I sent him the named.conf for him to look at.

BTW, I am running BIND 9.4.2 on a test box running CentOS release 4.6.  This version was directly compiled from source, and is not a package from CentOS or Red Hat, if that's any help for Mark.

    You will have a double period in a domain name or a missing
    label from a domain name somewhere.

        e.g. "foo..bar" or ".foo"

    When you find it please send a bug report along with the
    fragment of named.conf that is in error.
