TRY this:

$ORIGIN 194.118.217.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL 3600  ; This statement will stop the "No default TTL" error
           ; You can, of course change it to a different number,
           ; if you wish

@    IN  SOA ns1.te-clan.ch. info.te-clan.ch. ( 1 10800 3600 86400 86400 )

40.194.118.217.in-addr.arpa.    IN  NS  ns1.te-clan.ch.
41.194.118.217.in-addr.arpa.    IN  NS  ns2.te-clan.ch.



That will fix it.

Best wishes,
 Chris
