NS 127.0.0.1 not reachable

I am running Fedora Core 2 and have turned iptables off to troubleshoot DNS.
I have researched and read newgroup messages for the past three weeks and I
am stumped. If there is some glaring error in this configuration, please let
me know.

The DNS files are listed below:
