But this trial-and-error way of doing it doesn't seem like the best way to
learn.  Do you have the "DNS & BIND" book?  Have you looked at the
documentation or FAQ on the www.isc.org web site?

That's because it should be "$TTL 1D".  All directives in zone files begin
with "$" -- anything else is a resource record.
