Seconded. I would also recommend using human-readable times, even though they're converted to numbers internally [which is of course what 'dig' reads]. Similarly, less likely to errors.

zone syntax question
old zone file --- $ORIGIN . $TTL 3600 example.com IN SOA ns.example.com. root.example.com ( 2010071402 ; serial 10800 ; refresh (3 hours) 3600 ; retry (1 hour) 345600 ; expire (4 days) 86400 ; minimum (1 day) ) NS example.com. $ORIGIN example.com.

Re: zone syntax question
- Original message - example.com. IN SOA [...] IN NS ns.example.com. IN MX 10 ns.example.com. The A record for ns.example.com is missing from your zone. Will my proposed set up work on the old bind version.. Which old version? and it is syntactically correct ?? BIND comes with a tool named-checkzone that can do the syntax and integrity checks for you.
