Thanks. I installed nslint and it revealed several:

nslint: missing "ptr": z.elkins. -> 192.168.0.60
...

one each for each member of my LAN. Just for chuckles, I removed bind9 then 
re-installed it and the dns server is working again. However, the missing 
"ptr" errors remain. 

What is a missing ptr?
