If PowerDNS is not authoritative, it will send out a servfail - this is
intended behaviour. You can tweak it a bit with our root-referral flags.

I don't get your situation - you have a powerdns master server that doesn't
contain data, but you want your bind to slave from it?

This means it is missing the SOA record. Try querying your server directly:

dig -t any hfnmag.com @10.202.108.20

Good luck!
