Hi, I'm working on setting up a slave dns server. Dots have

Oh god, not this again... ;o)
The "." in a DNS name stands for "label separator". If you have a
"hostname with dots in it" all you have is a hostname with >1 label to
the left of the enclosing DNS zone.
It's legal, fine, nothing to worry about, move along.
If you want a zonefile without $ORIGIN and so forth, use a tool to
flatten it out - e.g.
dig @server zone.name axfr
named-compilezone -o output zone.name zone.file
