I posted the error I have see so far.  Please give me a list of other 
error reporting options.

Please note that everything worked perfectly under Fedora 33 and bind 9,11.

Now that I have the .local, things improved for abc.hosts,

# named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves  abc.local abc.hosts
zone abc.local/IN: loaded serial 265
OK

but not abc.hosts.rev

# named-checkzone -t /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves  abc.local 
abc.hosts.rev
abc.hosts.rev:3: ignoring out-of-zone data (255.168.192.in-addr.arpa)
abc.hosts.rev:14: ignoring out-of-zone data 
abc.hosts(10.255.168.192.in-addr.arpa)
abc.hosts.rev:17: ignoring out-of-zone data

12 repeats

zone abc.local/IN: has 0 SOA records
zone abc.local/IN: has no NS records
zone abc.local/IN: not loaded due to errors.

What exactly is wrong with the zone?
     3	255.168.192.in-addr.arpa IN SOA	rn6.abc.local.


And here is status ("not loaded due to errors"):

from named.local:

zone "255.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
         type master;
         # file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves/abc.hosts.rev";
         file "slaves/abc.hosts.rev";
         allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };

};


Thank you for the help.  Let me know if I did if I
missed posting enough information.
