named error: expected prefix length near '4'

How do I determine what is being referenced in "messages" as '4'?

---------/var/log/messages---------
starting BIND 9.2.3 -u named -t /var/named/chroot
using 1 CPU
named startup succeeded
loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
/etc/named.conf:2: expected prefix length near '4,'
loading configuration: unexpected token
exiting (due to fatal error)
---------/etc/named.conf------------
// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
directory "/var/named";
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};

Thank
Benu

(snip apparantly fine named.conf)

You're running chrooted. If that file really is /etc/named.conf it's not
the one being used.

What is in line 2 of /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf?

Thanks, you are right.
