Since you've not shown *exactly* what's in the zone file, it's hard to
say what's wrong with it other than what the name server has reported:
the zone file has no SOA record. So the file is broken or corrupt in
some way. If your server is a slave (secondary) for myzone.com -- why
didn't you give the actual zone name? -- I suggest you move the old
zone file and reload the server. It should then transfer the zone from
the master (primary) server and write a new copy of the zone file. You
can then compare the old and new versions and that might explain what
was wrong with the old one if you can be bothered to care about that.
