I'm a bit confused by your references to master and slave servers. A
server is master or slave for specific zones, it's not a general
property of the server. Is your server master or slave for any of the
zones you're asking about?

tower23.com has a serious problem with its delegation. The delegation
points to {ns1,ns2}.imconline.net, but the NS records in the zone itself
are {ns4,ns5}.vianetworks.net.

It's really hard to tell what's wrong when you use nslookup, it doesn't
give precise errors. Try dig.
