I assume the error is in qu.edu.qa, and it is a syntax error. Assume you are running bind.

run "named-checkzone qu.edu.qa PATH_TO_ZONE_FILES/qu.edu.qa.zone"

Most likely you have a '_' or some other illegal character and the load is truncated for that zone.

You could turn off name-checking for that zone...but a better solution is to find/fix the problem.

[root@ns3]#named-checkzone XX.XXX.XX /var/named/XX.XXX.XX.zone
/var/named/XX.XXX.XX.zone:58: *mylibrary.XX.XXX.XX: bad owner name (check-names)
zone XX.XXX.XX/IN: loaded serial 2009102002
OK

Here i am confused as we got two dns servers, only this one is make problem after editing the new values for mylibrary whereas second dns server responding perfectly.

Even we got same entries on both side. ((

Is that really a '*' on line 58 of the zone file?
Paste what is on line 58...
