Eric, 

New error

no TTL specified; using SOA MINTTL instead
 
can we not use the zone files from 9.2.1 in 9.3.2?

Rex, looks like you have some bad names in your zone files.  I mainly 
have run into this when I try to float names that have illegal 
characters in them.  Depends on the version of bind your running too, 
because the validation rules have changed from version to version.

I couldn't change my host names that contain underscores "_", so I added

this config which you might want to consider:

options {
	check-names master ignore;
};


-Eric.
