Is the message not rather self-explanatory? ns1 isn't answering authoritatively
-- i.e. doesn't consider itself master or slave -- for the zone. This may be
because the master or slave definition was removed from its configuration,
because there is a syntax error in the zone file, or perhaps because it's a
slave and the zone expired.

Speaking of which, if you have only 1 master configured for that zone, it's
going to expire unless you can get the problem fixed within the expire interval
(although there are tricks you can play to keep it alive longer than that).
