I corrected this in my reverse lookup.

I have only seen the named.conf file in the namedb template folder. 
The way I have this file set is that each nameserver points to 
another file in the /etc/namedb folder.  For instance

dns1.hosts
dns1.rev
local.rev

I learn best by comparing files side by side and learning first hand 
why my copy wont work based on the the real world example.

I cant find a single source that provides what other host, rev, 
local, & named.conf files look like (other then the temp file which 
only vaguely helped )

http://www.isc.org/products/BIND does not clearly get me to any place 
with concrete information other then a large email database with no 
search functionality.

Reading the man on 'named' is like trying to read latin with bifocals 
on backwards.

Thanks
