The forwarders clause needs to be inside the options:
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
forwarders {
217.13.4.21;
217.13.7.136;
};
};

`@' is shorthand for the $ORIGIN of the zone file. That's either the
what's defined in the zone clause in named.conf or by explicitly
setting $ORIGIN at the top of the file. It's also the default key for
the SOA record.
Try something like this for your zonefile:
$TTL 86400 ; Default TTL entry for RRs
@ IN SOA muay.lan. johan.ninja.lan. (
2002061600 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL
NS muay
muay A 192.168.0.1
ninja A 192.168.0.2
When you attempt to restart named, check /var/log/messages for any
errors. named will print out something like:
Jun 14 20:03:33 happy-idiot-talk named[98]: Ready to answer queries.
if it started up successfully.

See /etc/host.conf: by default gethostbyname() and that ilk will
search /etc/hosts first, then try the nameserver. Change the order of
the entries in that file if you want to prefer DNS over /etc/hosts.
