The error message returned by

named-checkzone
colo-perrys.com /var/named/chroot/var/named/perrylan.db

is

zone colo-perrys.com/IN: NS 'ns1.colo-perrys.com' has no address
records (A or AAAA)

Above you've quoted your reverse look-up zone, which looks okay. It's
the forward zone that should have an A record for the nameserver (NS)
record.

Your reverse zone (above) only needs records for the name (singular) to
be used for each IP. The forward records list all host names, and say
what IP they have.

Your master file (forward records) should be something like this
(below), based on what I can see of your reverse file, though put the
right IP address for your name server for the ns1 hostname:


$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.colo-perrys.com. hostmaster.colo-perrys.com. (
2010121301 ; Serial

colo IN A 100
dadsoffice IN A 2
Dave-PC IN A 4
Linksys-WAP54G IN A 20
mobile1 IN A 9
ns1 IN A 100
unclecarl IN A 10


And if you're going the whole hog of running a full LAN, with mail, you
probably should put an MX record in there for your LAN mail server, too.
