Zone Record Order

[Chris Buxton]

There's nothing wrong with putting the two records at the end - other  
than having the SOA record first, the order of records in a zone is  
usually unimportant. (If you disable RRSet reordering, then order of  
records in an RRSet becomes important.)

Is there a reason not to simply specify a TTL in the two records?  
Like this:

@	900	MX	5  mail.cvlsoft.net.
mail	900	A	12.45.64.7
