Nothing wrong with your english, mine is just as bad ...

First, you won't need "allow-transfer" {194.221.157.189} in your slave, it's
the master that needs this ( with the ip of the slave). You might of couse 
have an allow-transfer{none;} to prevent others from axfr.

Secondly you must have a "slave" statement for every zone. But you might
create a (perl?) script that creates this part using your master-config, in
fact it would make life easier in the futire.
