TTL questions

[Dave Wreski]

Hi all.  I'm using bind-8.2 on a linux box, and I'm receiving a TTL
message after upgrading from 4.x:

Jun 19 22:33:59 apps named[6279]: Zone "mydomain.com" (file
db.mydomain.com): No default TTL set using SOA minimum instead

I have the 3rd edition bind book, but I can't find where this problem
might be discussed..

My SOA is:

@ IN SOA ns.mydomain.com. admin.ns.mydomain.com. (
                1999071011      ;serial (yyyymmddxx)
                86400           ;refresh every 3 hours
                3600            ;retry every 1 hour
                604800          ;expire in 7 days
                86400 )         ;minimum ttl 1 day

What am I missing?  Also, I read that C and C++ style comments, as well as
# signs are now supported as comments.  I tried using # signs, and it
totally complained.. What happened here?

Thanks,
Dave
