There is nothing wrong with that, but have you looked at:
br1.CN85rd.molalla.net:root{120}# pwd
/usr/src/etc/namedb

named.conf:
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
        type master;
        file "localhost.rev";
};

and PROTO.localhost.rev:
IN SOA IN SOA host. IN SOA host. root. IN SOA host. root.host. (
                                date ; Serial
                                3600 ; Refresh
                                900 ; Retry
                                3600000 ; Expire
                                3600 ) ; Minimum
        IN NS IN NS host.
1 IN PTR 1 IN PTR localhost.1 IN PTR localhost.domain.
br1.CN85rd.molalla.net:root{125}#

Now do you see what is wrong????
