^^^^ (see comment below)
The snippet:

looks fine to me.

Neither do I! What about any syntax errors before this snippet? E.g. does
the 'options' declaration have a closing brace? Is it possible that you've
commented it out? The zone declarations must be in a different block from
the options declarations.
If you can't find the problem, it would help if you send the entire named.conf
file to the list.

The reverse mapping is taking an IP address and converting it into a name.
By setting up three different reverse mapping rules, how can this conversion
be done uniquely? It can't.
So named is quite correct at barfing about the redeclarations of the
reverse mappings in the 3.2.1.in-addr.arpa zone. You'll have to decide
which of the three domain names is most important, and use that alone for
the reverse mapping.

No worries. Hope it helps,
