Is you your /etc/hosts file looking like this?

($:~)- cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.xxx.xxx     gmike.5150wtwm.com

xxx has the IP for my LAN  

Also this is in my /etc/named.conf

zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "localhost.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
};
 

With my /var/named/localhost.zone file looking like

(gufymike at gmike)(17/pts/28)(05:35:06:Mon Nov 08)-
($:~)- sudo cat /var/named/localhost.zone
$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN localhost.
@                       1D IN SOA       @ root (
                                        42              ; serial (d.
adams)
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum
 
                        1D IN NS        @
                        1D IN A         127.0.0.1



That should do it.  If not the real experts here can help you.
