This starts declaring a zone for reverse lookups on 127.*. Now, the way [ReverseLookup]s are handled is by looking up the IP reversed followed by ".in-addr.arpa". For instance, if you want to look up what name the IP "1.2.3.4" has, you look up "4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa". If you think this is messy, don't even ask what they do for [IPv6] :)

Ok, this is new. This means that the zone will be downloaded using a ZoneTransfer from a primary name server.
