What's this for?

This looks wrong. What I have is:
zone "197.109.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "lemishosts.reverse";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "localhost.reverse";
};
The first is the reverse lookup for my domain, which is what you seem
to be missing. localhost.rev[erse] is typically the name for the
reverse lookup file for 127.0.0.1. I'd guess that this is your
problem. If you've only removed named.conf, you should find a reverse
domain file in the directory; just do something like my example.
This is all described in much more detail in "The Complete FreeBSD".
