Well if that is your master file named will be throwing lots
of errors.
If you are trying to delegate second.vmnet.biz then you should
have. Note white space *is* significant in a master file.
second NS bind-test.second.vmnet.biz.
NS x.vmnet.biz.
bind-test.second A 172.16.0.19
Note the MX record belongs in the second.vmnet.biz master file.
Note MX records can't point to CNAMES.

Where is your SOA record?
Again MX records can't point to CNAMES.

You failed to examine the error logs.
You failed to run named-checkzone.
You are also running a version of named that is past its
"use by" date.
