Does this " IN " make a difference

[SilentRage]

Specifying 'IN' tells bind that the zone is a "Internet" class zone.  If you don't specify the class in the zone block, then it will check the zone file for class information.  If there's no class information in the zone file, it defaults to "Internet" class.  So it is a matter of opinion on whether you prefer to be explicit or implicit.
