Answer 1

Try this..

@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. noc.domain.com. (

Instead of

116.64.xxx.in-addr.arpa. IN SOA ns1.domain.com. noc.domain.com. (

Answer 2

The first argument to named-checkzone is documented to be the zone name thus should not begin with /var/named.

Answer 3

Instead of:

named-checkzone /var/named/116.64.xxx.in-addr.arpa /var/named/116.64.xxx.db

Try this instead:

named-checkzone 116.64.xxx.in-addr.arpa /var/named/116.64.xxx.db
