The "$ORIGIN" directive sets the value which will be substituted for "@".
Because of this, the name of the SOA record is ".", which is outside
the zone you specified in the configuration file (enum.bhnis.net), and the
SOA record is ignored.
You could either put
$ORIGIN enum.bhnis.net. ;; NB: the final dot is significant!
or just omit the "$ORIGIN" directive.
