You shouldn't have "IN SOA" and "IN NS", you should have "CHAOS SOA" and
"CHAOS NS".  Just as all the records in a zone file have to be in that
zone, they also have to be in the class you said the zone file was in.

Of course, you can simply leave out the class entirely in all zone files;
it will default to the class specified in named.conf.
