Hi Andy

My apologies for not making myself clear.  All that is need is to prepend
a $TTL X (where X is a variable in seconds) before the SOA in each zone
file and BIND will work fine.

What I meant by the complaining bit is that without the $TTL X, BIND will
complain but the zonefile is still reloaded properly and accepted by BIND.
Hope I made myself clear on this.  My apologies once again.

Cheerio
