Yeah, the BlueOnyx Migration Guide has this info in it - which is related.

See: http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=cmu-migrations

Remove all existing DNS record. The CMU-Import may have created some
records, so do not skip this step:

/usr/sausalito/sbin/dnsDeleteAllRecords.pl --delete-confirm

Unpack the named.tar.gz tarball:

cd /home/export/extra
tar zxvf named.tar.gz

Next we need to do some cleanup and just copy what we need over to
/home/export/extra/dns:

mkdir /home/export/extra/dns
cp /home/export/extra/var/named/chroot/var/named/db*.*
/home/export/extra/dns/
rm /home/export/extra/dns/*~

Now we have all primary records in the directory /home/export/extra/dns/
ready for import.

Import all DNS zone files:

/usr/sausalito/sbin/dnsImport.pl /home/export/extra/dns


#############################################

Doing so ought to get rid of the 127.0.0.1-zone, which gets created
automatically anyway.

If you have it in your DNS, then the easy fix is to use the GUI. Go to
the DNS management and remove the primary zone for 127.0.0.1 and save
the changes. That gets rid of this duplicate permanently.
