Domain name server installation issue in centOS

HI All,

I am trying to setup DNS on my centOS server.
I am using bind software to setup DNS.
The following errors have getting.

==================================================
Error in named configuration:
zone localdomain/IN: loaded serial 42
zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 42
zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1997022700
zone 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1997022700
zone 255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42
zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 42

Thank you in advanced

Hi
Which version of centos your using

Sir,

I am using centOS 5

can u pls check the rpms required for this is
caching-nameserver-9.3.4-6.P1.el5

[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | grep bind
ypbind-1.19-8.el5
system-config-bind-4.0.3-2.el5
bind-libs-9.3.4-6.P1.el5
bind-utils-9.3.4-6.P1.el5
bind-chroot-9.3.4-6.P1.el5
bind-9.3.4-6.P1.el5

here my configuration
named.conf should be like this

//
// named.caching-nameserver.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat caching-nameserver package to configure the
// ISC BIND named(8) DNS server as a caching only nameserver
// (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//
// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - use system-config-bind or an editor
// to create named.conf - edits to this file will be lost on
// caching-nameserver package upgrade.

options {
        listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.100.110; };
        listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
        directory       "/var/named";

        #allow-query     { localhost;192.168.100.0/24; };
};
logging {
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };
};
view localhost_resolver {
        match-clients      { localhost; };
        match-destinations { localhost; };
        recursion yes;
        include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
};

in file /etc/named.rfc1912.zones i created the zones 
zone "100.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "192.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
};
zone "30.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "198.30.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
};

then i put the entries in FWD and reverse zones files

plz check this , its works form me

phpconnect,

1.Check the MX syntax
2.Check the /etc/sysconfig/named if chroot is enabled then you need to place your zone files and config files under /var/named/chroot/var/named and /var/named/chroot/etc respectively.
3.I think the SOA section comment fields should have ; the following can be replaced by serial; todays remove the commas...

serial, todays date+todays
