You need to add a '$TTL' statement to the beginning of the 127.0.0 file.

In the 127.0.0 file, you have

	IN NS  mydomain.gr

that should be:

	IN NS  mydomain.gr.

That means that it will let the OS select the source address, because you
didn't override the default with the 'query-source' option.  It's normal.
