Hi Roman,

You have a config problem. See below.

This "zonesdir" is where NSD wants to write plain text zone files, but 
it is not writable by the "nsd" user. You should change this to 
/usr/local/etc/nsd/var, which appears to be writable by "nsd".

The "database" option is silently ignored. NSD 4.8.0 has dropped the 
database features altogether, and it only saves zone data to plain text 
files.
