Sure there is. But the reverse zone is called 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa, and
it's using a file of the same name:

named-checkzone 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa 194.134.41.in-addr.arpa

I can't look up that name. It looks like it might not be properly
delegated to your nameservers... When I check towards coza1.dnsnode.net
for example, I'm told that metropolitanbuntu.co.za is handled by
ns1.serve-hosting.net and ns1.serve-hosting.net - according to those two
servers, the hostnames ns1 or ns2.metropolitanbuntu.co.ca don't exist:

Eivind-mac:~ eivind$ dig any ns1.metropolitanbuntu.co.za.
@ns2.serve-hosting.net

; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> any ns1.metropolitanbuntu.co.za.
@ns2.serve-hosting.net
