Almost There ...

	Your confusion is that you were thinking that the last
	field of the SOA record was the TTL.  It is not.  It is
	called "MINIMUM" and it is not optional.

	The TTL, if explicitly there, is after the owner name.
	e.g.  0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. 3600 SOA ...
	Every record has a TTL.

	Mark

$TTL 3600
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.   SOA company.internal.com.fr.  dns.company.fr. (
                            2000051800 86400 7200 3600000 10800 )
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.   NS  dnsx.company.internal.com.fr.
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. PTR localhost.
