This is wrong.  An NS record must be followed by a hostname, not an IP
address, so it should be:

example.com.  IN NS example.com.

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA example.com. david.example.es. 1 21600 10800 1728000 43200
  IN NS example.com.
  IN RP davidp.otherexample.com. David.example.com.
  IN PTR example.com.
