Centos 7 bind issue

Question

I am trying to configure a bind dns server on Centos 7. I have no previous knowledge on setting up dns servers, i am following this tutorial:http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/configure-dns-bind-server-on-centos-7-rhel-7.html Unfortunately, i am getting this error:

You have a couple of errors in your zone config. The biggest one is the incorrect IP address primary IN A 192.168.38.301 A valid IP only allows up to 255.

I have built your zone into one of my test servers and it loads once the errors have been fixed (I changed the IP to become .8 (as per your rev-zone). There was a clue in the log output you got when trying to start named.
