The problem is that you have an "A" Resource Record for dns1.onsyd.com in the zone file for the zone "newsfeatures.com" which is invalid because dns1.onsyd.com belongs to the zone "onsyd.com", not "newsfeatures.com". This is, in the file /var/named/newsfeatures.hosts there is a line like
dns1.onsyd.com. A 12.34.56.67 To fix this, you have to take out the A records for dns1.onsyd.com and dns1.onsyd.com from the newsfeatures.com zone file and put them in the right zone file (something like /var/named/onsyd.hosts). Of course, you *HAVE* to be primary for the zone onsyd.com (that is your case, according to what I see from your log messages.)
