Despite being the original defined meaning, the first of these, the minimum TTL value of all RRs in a zone, has never in practice been used and is hereby deprecated. [...] The Master File format [RFC 1035 Section 5] is extended to include the following directive: $TTL [comment] " Bind 8.2 started complaining (everything still works) if it is missing. Add it before the start of your SOA like $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA doheny.BEACH.NET. dan.doheny.BEACH.NET. ( See http://www.isc.org/bind8.2/master.html for more info on zone files.
