Problem setting up DNS

I have an isolated home network (up to now peer-to-peer) with Mandrake
8.0 server and workstation and have NFS mounts and sambe working well.
Now I want to setup DNS (just for the fun of it) and took the DNS Howto
as a guide. I am not sure that everything I set up is quite correct
since the doc talks on bind8, but here I have bind9, but comparing named
files that existed etc. and using linuxconf got me somewhere but not
where I want to be, since I get stuck on the test:
The howto tells to run "dig -x 127.0.0.1" and here is the answer I get:

->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id 18472
flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

QUESTION SECTION:
1.0.0.127. in-addr.arpa.,	,	IN,	PTR

Query time: 31 msec
SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)
When: Sat Jan 5 13:58:08 2002
MSG SIZE rcvd: 40

The howto says: if not correct, go back and check everything. That
advice is correct without doubt, but as the version of the tools is
different it does not get me very far.

Somebody has a hint, pointer to some more uptodate doc

TIA
