Quick 'newbie' DNS question. Hope you guys don't mind.

I have recovered a server and used dnsImport to import the DNS from
backup. 

All seems to have imported okay except now the DNS server won't run:

[root@server2 ~]# service named start
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:147: zone '0.0.127.in-addr.arpa': already exists
[FAILED]

Got this in the named directory:

[root (at mark) server2 named]# ls *.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa -al
-rw-r--r--  2 named named 645 Oct 28 12:00 db.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
-rw-r--r--  1 named named 570 Oct 27 18:09 pri.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa
[root@server2 named]#

... not sure if that helps.

Sorry if this is a silly one, but DNS scares me and I dare not muck it
up.
