Warning, if there is a bug in the sed script, this will destroy the
old file with a new and empty one, without remorse.

Perl may be a better idea, specially since it keeps a backup:

perl -i.bak -p -e 's/^ *\$TTL *(.*)$/\$TTL 2D/' `find zones`

-i : keeps a backup
-p : loops over the original file
-e : executes this instruction

s/.../.../ : substitutes the new TTL
