I like BIND 9 better errors.

The zone is has correct syntax.

$ttl 38400

f0rk.com.     IN     SOA     ns0.f0rk.com.     dmitri.f0rk.com (

Missing "." on end of e-mail address.

e.g. are you dmitri at f0rk.com.fork.com ?

			1043354774
			10800
			3600
			604800
			38400 )

Negative TTL of 38400?! Seems generous, 5 or 10 minutes normally
does.

f0rk.com.	IN	NS	ns0.f0rk.com.
f0rk.com.	IN	NS	24.90.175.95

NS records point to A records, not IP addresses. Unfortunately
the code doesn't spot this as an IP address is nominally a valid
domain name.

24.90.175.95.f0rk.com doesn't exist ;-)

ns0.f0rk.com.     IN     A     24.90.175.95
ns1.f0rk.com.     IN     A     24.90.175.95

@		IN	A	24.90.175.95

All looks like it ought to work, and indeed my first query for
f0rk.com worked fine despite these issues.

How do you think it is failing exactly?

The directnic secondary isn't working (and isn't listed in the
zone file as a name server!).
