What happens when you do "dig 8ball.ch axfr @<primaryaddr>".  Do you see
multiple SOA records with different serial numbers?  Normally there should
be an SOA record at the beginning and end, and they should be identical.

Are you hosting multiple domains on the primary?  Check whether the
erroneous SOA record appears to be coming from one of the other files.
