There should be a space before the '(' on the SOA line, and there shouldn't
be two '.' characters in 'mydns1..'.  Other than that, it looks
syntactically correct, although most of the hostnames are obviously bogus.
You don't need $ORIGIN, it defaults to the name of the zone from the
named.conf file.
