The first thing I see wrong is that its a recursion problem. But I'm not sure where the problems lie in my reverse lookup file. ns should report back as ns.example.com but instead getting ns.example.com.ns. Of course it wouldn't find any entries for that name because there isn't one, nor is it supposed to.

Here's my reverse file:

$TTL    86400
@       IN      SOA     ns.example.com root.example.com. (
                              16071990          ; Serial
                         3600           ; Refresh
                          1800          ; Retry
                        604800          ; Expire
                         86400  ; Minimum TTL
)

@       IN      NS      ns.example.com

It's not extraordinarily complicated. What my question is, what other files affect the output for named-checkzone when checking a name against the revers file?
