problems with the resolving some domain names

Your observation is correct. ns0.oleane.net and ns1.oleane.net do not
have the zone loaded.

Check the configuration on those servers to ensure that they include
zone statements like:

	zone "fia.com" {
		type slave;
		file "fia.com.slave";
		masters { 194.2.70.1; }; /* ns.fra.fr */
	};

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
