You didn't say what wasn't working, but you're missing a period after
integral.on.ca in the SOA (twice) and in the A record.

Also (and maybe you already know this), unless plato2.ml.org is registered as a
name server for integral.on.ca (and it doesn't appear to be), it can be as
authoritative as it wants, but nobody will ever know to ask it any questions
for it to be authoritative about.

Is plato2.ml.org one of those dynamic DNS things? If so, I don't think you'll
be able to register it as a name server at all.
