The following is a pre-recorded message.
The last value of the SOA is now the negative TTL, not the TTL. If you
do not have a $TTL directive as the first line of your file [or an
explicit TTL for every record], then:
BIND 8.2.* complains and uses the negative TTL;
BIND 9.* complains and rejects the zone.
Strongly suggest you start getting in the habit of using $TTL.
