Transfers not working

Your zone has errors, all bets are off:

1) Missing trailing periods. You probably don't want named's parser to 
interpret your strings as "root.localhost.versaterm.com." or 
"smtp.versaterm.com.versaterm.com.", respectively, but that exactly how 
they will be interpreted, assuming that you are loading this zone file 
relative to versaterm.com, because of the lack of trailing periods, and
2) NS records point to *names*, not IP addresses.

While not an *error*, you are also in violation of the Internet 
requirement that you have at least nameservers for your zone.
