Would you consider posting the new zonefile so it can be seen in its
entirety?  Understandably, the authoritative nameservers don't permit
random members of the public to pull those down.

$ dig -t axfr lugod.org @NS1.TIERRA.NET
; Transfer failed.
$ dig -t axfr lugod.org @NS2.TIERRA.NET
; Transfer failed.
$

One fine point:  RFC 2182's recommendation is minimum three, maximum
seven authoritative nameservers.  Two is disrecommended as too thin.

The choice of two only might be dictated by your chosen hosting
provider, which doesn't make this error any smarter, but does make it
more difficult to overcome.  (Shortchanging redundancy is sadly common
among ISPs.)

Personally, I use mutual nameservice with other technical people -- and
I do follow my own advice, too:

$ whois linuxmafia.com | grep '^Name Server: ' | wc -l
5
$
