bind zone problem

[Kevin Darcy]

Did you ask them to delegate achim.inflpr.ro or achim-a.inflpr.ro? 
There's no mention of an "achim" subdomain in the inflpr.ro zone. Looks 
like they tried to delegate achim-a.inflpr.ro, but then a) forgot to 
define the glue A record for the delegated nameserver, b) forgot to 
dot-terminate the RDATA of the delegation record, and c) defined the 
achim-a.inflpr.ro zone on their *own* (81.181.130.3) nameserver, with a 
bunch of PTR records in it (looks like maybe they copied over a reverse 
zone (?)) and, again, missed some necessary dot-termination. Their 
version of the achim-a.inflpr.ro zone, even if it were delegated 
properly from inflpr.ro to your nameservers, would "cover up" the 
delegated version.

I hope you're not paying for this level of service/expertise. By the 
way, the other nameserver for inflpr.ro (212.35.138.1) appears to be 
out-of-sync for the zone, and returns SERVFAIL to most queries related 
to achim-a.inflpr.ro.

Note that there is no mention of "example" in your version of the 
subzone or theirs. Once you get the zone delegated properly to your 
nameservers, you'll need to define "example" in the subzone.
