[Samba] Authoritative DNS Server

When I setup Samba4 I already had a master and slave bind9 server so I
copied the relevant dns information to my master server however I don't know
how to make my existing server authoritative for the zone.  It will send
notifies to the slave and allow ddns updates but the slave shows this error:
"slave-server named[1187]: client 1.1.1.1#22792: received notify for zone
'domain.local': not authoritative."  The other zones are able to transfer to
the slave without problem.  I think the relevant bit of the domain zone file
is below, let me know if you need anything else.  Not sure if this makes a
difference but fileserver1 actual name is fileserver1.originaldomain.local,
if you ping fileserver1.domain.local it still resolves to the servers IP and
responds.
