An MX record must point to a host name, not an IP address.  So change it
to:

                 MX      10 mail

mail             A       10.201.100.YYY

To allow dynamic updates, use the "allow-update" option, and specify the
address of the DHCP server that will be sending the updates.

The default for zone transfers is to allow them to any address.  You can
use the "allow-transfer" option to restrict this to certain addresses.
