An explicit directive for TTL was defined in RFC2308
"
4 - SOA Minimum Field
The SOA minimum field has been overloaded in the past to have three
different meanings, the minimum TTL value of all RRs in a zone, the
default TTL of RRs which did not contain a TTL value and the TTL of
negative responses.
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 <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.
