Looks much better.  However, in ironworks.zone the first line is:

   @TTL 3D

It probably should be:

   $TTL 3D

like it used to be.

In your /etc/named.conf you have:

   zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN {
           type master;
           file "named.broadcast";
           allow-update { none; };
   };

   zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
           type master;
           file "named.zero";
           allow-update { none; };
   };

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here but I doubt it is right.  It looks
like you are trying to claim all IP's that start with either "255" or "0".  For
now why don't you just comment these lines out.

Also in your /etc/named.conf you have:

   zone "localdomain" IN {
           type master;
           file "localdomain.zone";
           allow-update { none; };
   };

Since you didn't include a link to localdomain.zone it is hard to tell what this
is.  I doubt that it is something you really need but the log file says it isn't
causing any trouble.  I haven't messed with ipv6 so I can't offer an opinion on
your named.ip6.local file, perhaps others can.

I think you just need to fix the typo? in ironworks.zone (@TTL 3D -> $TTL 3D) and
you will have a working DNS.  However I still question the need/value of your
"localdomain.zone", "255.in-addr.arpa", and "0.in-addr.arpa".
