The 181.63.195.in-addr.arpa zone file probably contains something like:

<something>  IN NS  195.185.213.40
<something>  IN NS  195.63.181.1
<something>  IN NS  212.172.106.1

NS records are supposed to point to hostnames, not IP addresses.  And since
there's no "." at the end of those lines, they get the zone name appended
to them.

However, I just did a zone transfer of that domain, and didn't see records
like these, so I'm not really sure where they are.  I notice that you have
RFC 2317 delegation of the 195.63.181.0/25 subnet, but the subzone doesn't
exist on your servers.  Perhaps the problem is in the files for that
subzone, and it's resulting in both these errors and the zone not existing.
