Bind: Zone not loaded due to errors, all FQDNs properly marked

After an update, our intranet manual stopped working, and we get an error about our zone file when we run named-checkzone that says "intranet.dsi.local has no address records (A or AAAA)" and is not loaded due to errors

$ttl 38400
@   IN  SOA intranet.dsi.local. root.intranet.dsi.local. (
            1542053403
            10800
            3600
            604800
            38400 )
dsi.local.  IN  NS  intranet.dsi.local.
dsi.local.  IN  A   199.168.52.xx
www.dsi.local.  IN  A   199.168.52.xx
ftp.dsi.local.  IN  A   199.168.52.xx
m.dsi.local.    IN  A   199.168.52.xx
localhost.dsi.local.    IN  A   127.0.0.1
webmail.dsi.local.  IN  A   199.168.52.xx
admin.dsi.local.    IN  A   199.168.52.xx
dsi.local.  IN  TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:dsi.local ip4:192.168.10.195 ip4:199.168.52.xx ip6:fe80::20c:29ff:fe3e:690b ?all"

Nothing's actually changed in the file, and as far as I can tell, all FQDNs have . at the end, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong. I wasn't the one who originally set this up, but my predecessor has since left the company, and I'm not sure what I'm missing.

There is `intranet.dsi.local.` resource record in the zone data that you've posted. You reference that in your SOA and NS records, which is why bind refuses to load the zone.

so if I replace intranet.dsi.local. in the NS record with, say, the ip address that it's supposed to map to, in this case 192.168.10.195, it should work again?

I was actually able to get it to play nice syntax-wise by adding `intranet.dsi.local. IN A 192.168.10.195`, however the site still refuses to load with anything other than a direct IP address, and even then loads without the dynamically linked scripts and themes

Figured out that in addition to this little error, my replacement added a new domain controller right before he left and never updated the DNS settings in it to allow the intranet manual to work properly

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
