zone syntax question

[Lyle Giese]

You don't have an origin nor an A record for ns.example.com. I would
replace example.com in the SOA with @ and you are missing the space
between the authoritive name server and the email address. Also missing
a period at the end of the email address.

I kept my time periods in seconds since that is what dig will give you
back when querying the zone.

IN for Internet zone is assumed and is not required in the records.
