Bind9 External Reverse Lookup DNS Problems

Question

I have a problem with a group of bind9 DNS servers running on Centos 5.10

The servers are on an internal network and are NATed from the internet facing network architecture to allow external resources the ability to lookup external DNS names and IPs that the bind9 servers host.

Bind reverse zone files contents are:

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400      ; 1 day
114.X.41.in-addr.arpa. IN   SOA dns001dns01.myorg.com. hostmaster.myorg.com. (
;;@ IN  SOA dns001dns01.myorg.com. hostmaster.myorg.com. (
            2008110934
            10800
            3600
            604800
            0 )
    IN        NS      dns001dns01.myorg.com.
    IN    NS      dns001dns02.myorg.com.
    IN    NS      dns001dns03.myorg.com.

$ORIGIN 114.X.41.in-addr.arpa.

2   IN  PTR mail.myorg.com.
12  IN  PTR exchmail3.myorg.com.
15  IN  PTR online.myorg.com.
16  IN  PTR exchmail2.myorg.com.
37  IN  PTR toprms.myorg.com. 
5   IN  PTR appraisalworkflow.myorg.com.
14  IN  PTR exchmail5.myorg.com.
78  IN  PTR exchmail.myorg.com.

Config stanza:

zone "AAA.X.41.in-addr.arpa" IN {
    type master;
    notify yes;
    file "41.X.AAA.rev";
    allow-query { any;};
    allow-update { key rndckey; };
    allow-transfer { 172.30.0.41; 172.30.0.42; 172.20.50.52; };

};

Forward lookups work great, and both forward and reverse lookups work between the servers and on the internal networks that the servers are connected to. However external REVERSE lookups fail.

Is it possible to trace where reverse domain records stop, and which servers are the authoritative reverse lookup servers for a particular domain? ( I hope I am making sense, sorry if I am not.)

I tried to do a dig trace from my computer to the reverse zone (apologies for how it looks, trying to protect the innocent with a little obscurity). The many BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRAL indicate something is wrong, but please what could it be? See below:
