That's fine. On my server, I have localhost, as well as the server's
name. I remember there was a reason why I did that, but I don't
remember what the reason was anymore. I suppose I'll find out if I
ever have to setup from scratch.

You want a period at the end of that, as in ns1.danielcproductions.net.

I assumed it was in your zone originally, but since I've deleted your
previous post, I couldn't go back to look. If it wasn't there
originally though, that would explain why your ftp and web servers
were complaining about it, and refusing to start.

You probably don't really need a zone for localhost, though I myself
had one when I first started with my own domain, and found one was
already provided with bind by default, when I moved to debian. I've
also seen docs on the web recommending that you create one.
