Bind won't start - serial # error

Hi all,

Bind works out of the box, but when I attempt to add a domain.com zone
I get this error:

Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
zone localdomain/IN: loaded serial 2006110721
zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 2006110700
zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1997022700
zone
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa/IN:
loaded serial 1997022700
zone 255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1997022700
zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 199702270
[FAILED]
How do I find the correct serial # I'm supposed to use?

I've tried to dig localhost and cut/paste the serial # into the zone
files above, and tried any combination I could think, including
incrementing the last 2 serial digits, what am I doing wrong?

results of dig localhost:
