	Your $ORIGIN's are not absolute.  Also they are not necessary
	at all as the default $ORIGIN is the name of the zone.
	Nameservers have lots of features most of which are not
	needed for simple configurations.

	I would still make the name of the file match the
	name of the zone.

	Are you sure you want mydom.com to have an address of
	127.0.0.1 in addition to 192.168.33.19?  Replace the "@"
	with "localhost" and move down one line to keep all the
	records at the top of zone together.

	You have duplicate NS records for mydom.com.

	Mark
