What I see are the following problems:

1.)
    The SOA record of your domain webtrafix.net says:
    webtrafix.net. root.webtrafix.net. 2000050120 3H 1H 1W 1D

    That means 'root.webtrafix.net' is said to be the primary nameserver
    for the domain. This server does not exist in your domain.

2.)
    The NIC records says the first and second nameservers
    are ns0.webtrafix.net and ns1.webtrafix.net

    But ns0 is not in your domain-data.


Probably the delay is caused by the first error - the authoritative
nameserver root.webtrafix.net is not found and then after a timeout
the second is tried.

But while you are at it, correcting point 2.) would also not be too bad
(i.e. have your zone data and the NIC records saying the same about
who are the nameservers for the zone).

You should also make up your mind, wether to run your machine as the
first (authoritative resp. master) or second (slave) server.
