Your zone file actually isn't serving any NS records at all. Just by  
including ns1 and ns2 records does not magically turn them into  
nameserver records. At the absence of such records, maradns will try  
to construct NS records itself (the synth-ip ones you see).

You probably want to do something like:

example.com. NS ns1.anotherdomain.com.
example.com. NS ns2.anotherdomain.com.
example.com. 67.167.27.34

and put the records for anotherdomain.com in a zone file of its own  
(don't forget the dot at the end of your hostnames!)

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
