A domain name owning a CNAME record can not also own any other
record, i.e., 'exceris.net' already owns an SOA and NS records.
The Microsoft nameserver will let you get away with this violation
of the RFCs - a BIND 9 nameserver will never let this error pass.

Replace the CNAME with the following A records (the IP addresses
of which belong to 'web2.servers.inmarketing.net'):

exceris.net.            IN A    64.94.163.142
exceris.net.            IN A    64.94.163.143

You have the following typos:

mailhost                10M IN CNAME    mailserver.ttec.com.onlinemktg.com.
                        10M IN CNAME    mailserver.ttec.com.

Remove the entry for 'mailhost' which is missing the terminating ".".
This is the source of the "multiple RRs of singleton type" error.

Replace 'nameserver\@ttec.com.' with 'nameserver.ttec.com.' in the SOA
record.

Also, the e-mail address from your posting is "Jmaimon" but the
zone contact e-mail address for 'onlinemktg.com' is "Amaimon".
Is this a typo?
