what are the contents of /var/named/db.local.127.0.0?
That's the file you specified as having the zone record for localhost.
BTW, the contents for MY version of this file are:
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1997022700 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.
