Make sure that you use a "$TTL" directive at the top of the zone file.

Also ensure that your SOA refresh is at least 3-4 times the
length of your retry.

Use "$TTL".

You need a trailing dot at the end of
"27.115.216.216.in-addr.arpa" in this zone file, otherwise BIND will
add ".216.216.in-addr.arpa" to the end for you.

Again, you need a trailing dot -- this time at the end of
"ns2.granitecanyon.com", otherwise BIND will add ".quadtrax.net" for
you.
All of these problems would probably be found if you were using
BIND 9 instead of BIND 8, and used the "named-checkzone" program
which comes with BIND, in order to check the syntax of your zone
files.
As an adjunct, here's what the latest version of "doc" has to say
about your zone:
% doc -d quadtrax.net.
