You'd have to have a different server do the writing. You'd make a different, non-ad server a delegated DNS host and then have it write zone file there.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I was in panic mode yesterday and sent this email before doing more in deep troubleshooting myself, it turns out that the problem was in the Nasa DNS server, they were delegating the subdomain to another DNS server, but they have them wrongly configured the delegation :( Thanks anyway. My DNS are AD integrated, I though a file was written and that you could actually modify the dns conf by editing those files, like in Linux, I was wrong I guess, is there a way to force that file to be written?

How to troubleshoot For starters, what version of Windows Server are you using? Is it fully patched? What's in the event logs (system, application, and dns event logs) before/during/after the dns server goes wonky [1]? Is this AD-Integrated DNS? If so, no dns files are going to be written out. If so, they'll be in the directory specified in the properties of the server. What is your DNS topology? Is this server authoritative for nasa.gov? Is it a forwarder? stub zone? ?? I'm sure there's more, but that's a great place to start. [1] Is that the correct use of the term? If not, please correct me so I don't make that gaffe again.
