There are no hostnames in named.boot.

You need to have the administrator of the 201.67.212.in-addr.arpa zone
change the line:

174 IN PTR  ns.wulfrun.net.

to:

174 IN PTR  ns1.wulfrun.net.

You also need to update your domain at Granite Canyon to include the
following A record:

ns1  IN A  212.67.201.174
