Why are you still running BIND 4?  That's almost prehistoric these days.

You shouldn't need to have your own zone file for cfgrp.co.za.  Servers 
will look up those hosts the normal way if they need to.

If you're concerned because the addresses of these servers aren't shown 
in the output below, don't be.  The reason for this is that you have so 
many NS records for the domain that including all the addresses would 
make the response too big for a 500-byte UDP packet.  So the Additional 
Records section is cut off when it reaches that limit.
