I think the file you want is /var/named/named.local
Mine contains:

# cat /var/named/named.local
@               IN      SOA     localhost.      root.localhost. (
                         1999121201 ; serial
                         10800 ; refresh
                         3600 ; retry
                         604800 ; expire
                         86400 ; default_ttl
                         )
1               IN      PTR     localhost.
@               IN      NS      localhost.

If you have this file see if the refresh and expire values
are small.  As I recall these values are in seconds.
