As of my typing this message, a lookup on madisonave.ca (using the default 
name servers of my connection to Rogers) gives me your .38 address and the 
information that www.madisonave.ca is an alias. Looks like it is ok to me. 
A lookup on alteeve.com also works but does not list an alias.

If you have other zones to transfer, you should shorten their default TTL 
values and update the serial numbers in the zone records now. That way, 
when you are ready to transfer the other 20 or so domains, the updates will 
take effect sooner.

The named.conf file you listed is from the master (ns1) machine? If you 
want the ns1 machine to do zone transfers to ns2 from time to time (when 
you change the information on ns1), the named.conf file on ns2 should be 
marked as a slave IIRC.
