Put it in your "named.conf".

If you want to block acezip.net,
   put below in your named.conf,

    zone "acezip.net" { type master; notify no; file
    "null.zone.file"; };

BTW, can you show us your null.zone.file and your named.conf

In the last line of my named.conf I put include named.conf.local  
(Black list).
I had a 3 line script to generate named.conf.local from the yoyo.org  
list.
