	The default is:

	./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

	If you just specify --prefix=/usr/local you get
	--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc and --localstatedir=/usr/local/var
	which may not be what you want.

	The format is the same with the addition of a $TTL directive.
	I do however suggest that you run named-checkzone on the as
	the parser is much stricter.
