Hopefully, those aren't the way those lines appear in the actual zonefile. The
"NS" and "IN" lines above won't work unless there is whitespace preceding them
on the line, and even then, they may be misinterpreted, depending on what
precedes them in the zone file. Also, the lack of a trailing period almost
guarantees that they'll be misinterpreted.
