The serial should have a format: YYYYMMDDXX where XX is a 2 digits
number, increased each time the zone file is changed.

What shall that be? For what this ugly CNAME? This whole setup can't
work.

                IN NS   ns1.espersonline.com.
                IN NS   ns.secondaryNS-server.tld.
espersonline.com.        IN A    official-IP-of-DNS

Yes, you have the chrooted bind installed with chroot /var/named/chroot.
So the relevant named.conf is /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf. Please
read the docs. It was too explained in detail here on the list some
month ago.

Did you read the bind documentation? DNS is a fundamental service and
you should not play around with it.
