I don't think there's a bug. It exists three type of RE - basic, 
extended and perl. sed uses basic RE and perl uses his own so it if you 
use perl and sed with same expressions results will be different. Only 
one problem in my sample could be if you have '$TTL' string somewhere 
else in zone (not only on start of zone configfile). ...$TTL... could be 
replaced by ...$TTL 2D. More safety could be substiture mv command with 
cp and substitute 's/$TTL.*/$TTL 2D/' by 's/^$TTL/$TTL 2D/'.
