The server statement defines characteristics to be associated with a
remote nameserver, i.e. you don't need it here. Use /usr/local/sbin/
named-checkconf to find your syntax error.
server ip_addr {
[ bogus yes_or_no ; ]
[ provide-ixfr yes_or_no ; ]
[ request-ixfr yes_or_no ; ]
[ edns yes_or_no ; ]
[ transfers number ; ]
[ transfer-format ( one-answer | many-answers ) ; ]]
[ keys { string ; [ string ; [...]] } ; ]
};
