You shoud specify the SOA records a little better.

At 00:32 11/10/96 +0000, Lenzi, Sergio wrote:

@	IN	SOA	$host.$localdomain.	root.(

should be

@	IN	SOA	$host.$localdomain.	hostmaster.$localdomain (

Where hostmaster is an alias to the person responsible for the zone's data.

Otherwise its a good tool for setting up the initial named database files
You could also include the following

HOST=ftp.rs.internic.net.

ftp -n -v <<End
open $HOST
user anonymous
pass hostmaster\@$localdomain
cd domain
get named.root cache
quit
End

to get the lastest named.root file instead of typing one of them in.
