Actually your domain name was taken out to make it difficult for
people to help you. Deliberately hiding this information is
counter-productive. It can even be confusing. For example the mangled
zone files you showed mentioned blah.net and another.com. These zones
appear to be fine. And since you mangled the zone files to hide the
real names, who's to say what else you could have mangled when you
edited them? The stuff you posted clearly isn't what you fed your
name servers, so there's no way of knowing for certain what the
problem is.

Because the zone file parser in previous versions of BIND was broken.
Read Section 5 of RFC1035 on the format of zone files. Your zone files
appear to be incorrectly formatted - assuming what you showed
resembles what you get your server to load. The software you used
to run tolerated that brokenness.
