[BIND 8.2] Negative TTL not working ???

[Erwann Corvellec]

  I switched from 8.2.1 to 8.2.2p5 and so I had to add a $TTL and to set
the negative responses TTL into my zone files. But it doesn't seem to
work...
  If I set a zone file like for example.com like this :
$TTL 2D
@       IN      SOA     ns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. (
                        1999111701      ; Serial
                        1D              ; Refresh
                        2H              ; Retry
                        4W              ; Expire
                        8H)             ; Negative responses TTL

  And If I dig it I won't get the right minimum TTL of 2 days !?!

  Am I missing something ?
