[SunHELP] BIND configuration and IN NS entries

Our domain is mastered by us with the secondary (slave, I assume?) DNS 
being managed by the company that provides our frame connection. In our 
IN NS entries I have been listing both name servers like so:

our-domain.com.    IN NS    ours.our-domain.com.
our-domain.com.    IN NS    thiers.their-domain.com.

With similar entries in the reverse listings.

But that gives me the follwing error:

ours named[xxxxx]: sysquery: findns error (NXDOMAIN) on 
thiers.our-domain.com

As if it is trying to find thier server in our domain.

I don't think I should omit mention of the other server, as its listing 
is supposed to trigger a DNS NOTIFY when we change our config files, but 
is there a right way to handle this?
