Based on what you are showing us, it should work. Therefore,
obviously, the problem is in the part that you are not showing us.

If the second is succeeding at all, you have edited out the SOA and NS
records. These are required for all zone files. What are they?
229.47.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns4.bellglobal.com
229.47.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns3.bellglobal.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
ns4.bellglobal.com internet address = 198.235.216.131
ns3.bellglobal.com internet address = 198.235.216.130
These are hosted by the bellglobal.com server. Not by you.
105.108.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = TAZ.BELL-NEXXIA.NET
105.108.206.in-addr.arpa nameserver = PLUTO.BELL-NEXXIA.NET
A lookup for the first name server fails. A lookup for the second name
server succeeds. Maybe you need to fix that.
bell-nexxia.net nameserver = PLUTO.bell-nexxia.net
bell-nexxia.net nameserver = MICKEY.bell-nexxia.net
PLUTO.bell-nexxia.net internet address = 205.207.237.48
MICKEY.bell-nexxia.net internet address = 205.207.237.50
QUESTION: Is it bell-nexxia or bellnexxia? Or both? And .com or .net?
Or both?
