The NS records are incorrect.  The left-hand side on the

      ns1.metropolitanbuntu
      ns2.metropolitanbuntu

lines should either be

      194.134.41.in-addr.arpa.
or
      @

The "@" signifies the current origin.  You have the NS records
with a prefix of the last octet of the IP address.  The NS records
for ns[12].mweb are correct, I believe.
