I don't know for sure since I haven't seen your zone file, but I would guess that there's something on line 8 of your file that there is a new line before there should be.

It is expecting something like " IN PTR localhost" and got something like " IN PTR ".

here's what my reverse looks like, sorry that i didnt post it right away.

$ttl 1400
$ORIGIN 177.39.65.in-addr.arpa.
@ IN SOA ns1.finalsolutions.ca. (
2005100102 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN PTR localhost

NS ns1.finalsolutions.ca.
NS ns2.finalsolutions.ca.

178 IN PTR web.finalsolutions.ca.
179 IN PTR ns1.finalsolutions.ca.
180 IN PTR ns2.finalsolutions.ca.
181 IN PTR finalsolutions.ca.
182 IN PTR secure.finalsolutions.ca.
183 IN PTR bnc.finalsolutions.ca.

Your SOA record is missing the e-mail address. I added netadmin.finalsolutions.com for reference (see below). Plus, I deleted the localhost definition (should be in its own zone file) along with adding @ for the NS records for clarity.

Code:

[root@excelsior scowles]# cat test.db
$ttl 1400
$ORIGIN 177.39.65.in-addr.arpa.
@ IN SOA ns1.finalsolutions.ca. (
        netadmin.finalsolutions.com.
        2005100102 ; Serial
        28800 ; Refresh
        14400 ; Retry
        3600000 ; Expire
        86400 ) ; Minimum
 
@       IN      NS ns1.finalsolutions.ca.
@       IN      NS ns2.finalsolutions.ca.
 
178     IN      PTR web.finalsolutions.ca.
179     IN      PTR ns1.finalsolutions.ca.
180     IN      PTR ns2.finalsolutions.ca.
181     IN      PTR finalsolutions.ca.
182     IN      PTR secure.finalsolutions.ca.
183     IN      PTR bnc.finalsolutions.ca.
184     IN      PTR gamersedge.ca.
186     IN      PTR got-owned.ca.
187     IN      PTR you.got-owned.ca.

[root@excelsior scowles]# named-checkzone  177.39.65.in-addr.arpa. test.db
zone 177.39.65.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2005100102
OK
