See man named.conf:

MASTERS
           masters string [ port integer ] {
                ( masters | ipv4_address [port integer] |
                ipv6_address [port integer] ) [ key string ]; ...
           };

You've given an URL in the specification of a master server, and named
tries to interpret the URL as a port specification. If you really do
need to specify the http port for this, try 80 (see /etc/services).

But try without specifying a port first:


zone "." IN {
       type slave;
       file "/etc/bind/db.root";
       masters { 62.42.230.24; };
       allow-transfer { any; };
       notify no;
};


For better understanding, if you
read /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/DNS-HOWTO.gz, line 1498: "A slave is
simply a nameserver that copies zone files from a master." This is
useful for creating backup servers, but is setting a backup server for
your ISP what you want to do?
