Allow me a few comments regarding sh -> awk for reformatting
your input data.

Drop the ^Ms in a pipe step ... | tr -d '\r' | ...

No need, awk defaults to tab(s) and/or space(s) as field
separators, and you can easily access the fields with $1,
$2, $3 and so on.

Just add a rule (length > 0) infront of your { ... awk
statements for each line }.

Expand the rule like (length > 0 && $2 != "localhost") { ... },
in case "localhost" is the exact text; if you want to use a
reges, use $2 != /localhost/ instead.

Add another rule as reges !/^#/ && ( ... as above ... ) { ... }
to filter those. Or, also possible, use ... | grep -v "^#" | ...
infront of awk.

See above.

Construct an output statement as desired. Use variables instead
of $1, $2, $3 if the whole things gets too complex, for example
like this (not tested, just for illustration):

#!/bin/sh

cat input.txt | tr -d '\r' | awk '
!/^#/ && (length > 0) {
	ip = $1
	host = $2

	if (!(host == "localhost" || ip == "127.0.0.1" || ip == "0.0.0.0"))
		printf("local-zone: \"%s\" always_nxdomain\n", ip)
	else
		printf("local-zone: \"%s\" always_nxdomain\n", host)
}' > output.txt

That should be basically what you need. You now just have to
combine the moving parts correctly. :-)
