So it seems like the BIND doesn't appreciate the zeroes in a IP address definition.
I can't find errors in my BIND configuration so I think this is a bug. Do you agree?
Using 001 and 002 was not a good example to choose ;-) This is more of a feature than a bug. Bind (like many other programs) uses the convention that octal numbers start with a leading "0" and hexadecimal numbers start with a leading "0x" to allow you to write things like localhost IN A 0x7f.000.000.1 in your zone files should you so wish.
