Assuming that you didn't mess with the two complete lines that you
posted, as you did with the rest of your zone file, your problem is that
you're missing the contact field of your SOA. Editing data that you post
is a bad idea- you almost always obscure or change a key piece that lets
folks diagnose your problem.
