Did you try tail -f /var/log/messages while restarting bind ?
I would like to know if it gives any error-messages...
I think there is a ; missing after the last bracket of your time-to-live
settings. I never understood why it had to be there, but it had...
Maybe try your config-file this way? :
There could be errors in it, but maybe it puts you on the right track ?

IN NS ns1.domain.com.
IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
<this should be a hostname in the domain> IN A 24.222.21.54
<this should be a hostname in the domain> IN A 24.222.21.54
#The previous line is not possible, because you use 2 times the same
#IP address. Use a CNAME instead of a A-record.
mail IN CNAME <this should be a hostname already defined>

I don't know what you are trying to do with the ilebranchee-thing. You
need to put the hosts from your domain in this file, without the
domain-name, without a point after them.
