I installed the following as the default-empty zone file for FreeBSD
back in 2007, and it has withstood numerous versions of BIND in the process:
$TTL 3h
@ SOA @ nobody.localhost. 42 1d 12h 1w 3h
; Serial, Refresh, Retry, Expire, Neg. cache TTL
@ NS @
; Silence a BIND warning
@ A 127.0.0.1
You might find the various files at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/namedb/ interesting as well.
