The lines you have beginning with "NS" and "IN MX" need to be indented and
should immediately follow the SOA record for the domain in order to be
treated as records for the domain name itself.

I suspect that they are indented in the real file, but got messed up when
you transcribed them into your posting.  But I can't tell for sure.  Please
tell us the domain you're really talking about so we can look at what's
*really* there.
