So my next question is in regards to providing zone or dns zone options 
without the use of dnssec? Is this a valid example?

#### DNS Zone Definitions ####
zone "test.com" {
     type master;
     file "mmctest.zone";
};
zone "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" {
     type master;
     file "test.zone";
};
zone test {
     primary 127.0.0.1;
}
zone xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa {
     primary 127.0.0.1;
}
