Your ISP is correct. Based on your query to dns2, it looks like it is NOT
pulling the primaries zones. i.e. configured as a slave zone.

Double check your zone definition on dns2 and also insure that your primary
is configured to ALLOW dns2 to pull these zones. i.e. the "allow-transfer"
directive.

Example:

On my primary 192.168.9.2... slave's ip is 192.168.8.2

        # Load the internal mydomain.com zone as master
        zone "mydomain.com" in {
                type master;
                notify yes;
                allow-update { key dhcp_updater; };
                allow-transfer { 192.168.8.2; };
                file "int/db.mydomain";
        };

        # Load the internal 192.168.9.0/24 reverse zone
        zone "9.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
                type master;
                notify yes;
                allow-update { key dhcp_updater; };
                allow-transfer { 192.168.8.2; };
                file "int/db.192.168.9";
        };

On my secondary name server...

        # Load the internal mydomain.com zone as slave
        zone "mydomain.com" in {
                type slave;
                file "int/db.mydomain";
                masters { 192.168.9.2; } ;
        };

        # Load the internal 192.168.9.0/24 reverse zone as slave
        zone "9.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
                type slave;
                file "int/db.192.168.9";
                masters { 192.168.9.2; } ;
        };
