The problem is in your zonefile ;
there is no address records for=20
 ns1.isdesigndev.com. and ns2.isdesigndev.com.

as shown with a zone-xfer :

Add those "A" records, adjust the SOA to properly deal with=20
$TTL vs. "NON-existent TTL" ( you have them switched).=20

( And it shouldn't hurt if located one slave outside your premisis,=20
at your ISP could be a better location ?)
