Domain name doesn't resolve

Hi

This worked for a couple of days ago, and then it suddenly stopped working, I have no clue why.

It's the same problem for both of domains, but let's focus on the domain "synctray.com" since it's the same error on both of them.

I also want to mention that this is a dedicated server that I ordered on OVH's budget site kimsufi.

Okay, so I have changed the nameserver at the domain registrar (dreamhost), I changed it to the following:

NS1: ks3268717.kimsufi.com (my server)
NS2: ns.kimsufi.com (ovh's kimsufi nameserver)

This should be the correct settings, it is also written here by OVH: http://help.ovh.co.uk/NewDNSServer

When I do a whois lookup, everything looks fine, the whois result is as following:

Domain Name: SYNCTRAY.COM
Registrar: NEW DREAM NETWORK, LLC
Whois Server: whois.dreamhost.com
Referral URL: http://www.dreamhost.com
Name Server: KS3268717.KIMSUFI.COM
Name Server: NS.KIMSUFI.COM
Status: ok
Updated Date: 19-nov-2012
Creation Date: 19-nov-2012
Expiration Date: 19-nov-2013

So now over to the server configuration. Btw I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:

nameserver 127.0.0.1 # My host
nameserver 213.186.33.199 # This is whats resolves from ns.kimsufi.com
search

My named.conf file:

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";
logging {
channel query.log {
syslog syslog;
severity debug 3;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
};

My named.conf.local file:

zone "synctray.com" {
type master;
file "/var/lib/bind/synctray.com.hosts";
allow-transfer {
any;
};
};

My /var/lib/bind/synctray.com.hosts file:

$ttl 38400
@ IN SOA synctray.com. root.ks3268717.kimsufi.com. (
1353533923
10800
3600

38400 )
@ IN NS ks3268717.kimsufi.com.
@ IN NS ns.kimsufi.com.
synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
www.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
ftp.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
m.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
localhost.synctray.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
webmail.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
admin.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
mail.synctray.com. IN A 94.23.194.25
synctray.com. IN MX 5 mail.synctray.com.
synctray.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:synctray.com ip4:94.23.194.25 ?all"

No matter what I am trying, I can't get it up and running, it just wont resolve.

When I restart Bind9, everything looks fine in the syslog.
