You need a "." at the end of the name.  Otherwise the origin gets appended,
so it's treated as tf-pdc.internal.tflogic.com.internal.tflogic.com.

NS records must point to a *name*, not an address.  Change that to:

         NS      tf-pdc.internal.tflogic.com.

Or get rid of the $ORIGIN line entirely and use:

tf-pdc   NS      tf-pdc
