are you setting up a cache, or an authoritative server?
IOW, do you want Bind to resolve names for clients (they'll will
have it in /etc/resolv.conf and equivalents), or do you want it to
publish names?
You are doing both, but if you want to have this Bind resolving
names for clients (external cache), being authoritative for
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa doesn't IMO make sense.
