hello ,
If the ttl parameter isn't set in a specific zone the golbal values
will take affect. so you can add something like to your root zone.
-------
max-cache-ttl <very small number in secs>
------
In case if you are running bind version older than 9 , I think you can
add fetch-glue no to your zone in named.conf.
HTH ,
