Problem setting up DNS on RedHat 9 server

Hi,

I've set up a new RedHat 9 server and am configuring DNS. It's
working for the most part but I get the following error when loading
my reverse DNS zone:

dns_rdata_fromtext: db.novonet.ca:6: near eol: unexpected end of input
dns_rdata_fromtext: db.novonet.ca:6: near eol: unexpected end of input

I've googled the error but haven't found a solution; here is the
contents of the zone file; any help appreciated:

24.54.207.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA novonet.novonet.ca. (
2004111001 ; serial
10800 ; Refresh after 3
hours
3600 ; Retry after 1 hour
604800 ; Expire after 1 week
86400) ; Minimum ttl of 1 day

; name servers
225 IN PTR lclweb
226 IN PTR siren
229 IN PTR novonet
@ IN NS novonet.novonet.ca.

Don't put the final ')' on the same line as the value?

86400 ; Minimum ttl of 1 day
)

Does this help? I'm not sure just how enthusastic the named parser
actually is.

Cheers!
