Here's the input zone file:

--SNIP--
$TTL
@	IN	SOA	server00.dnslab.org. alan.clegg.com. (
			1 3600 600 5w 5m )

@	IN	NS	server00.dnslab.org.

www	IN	A	12.12.12.12
--SNIP--

Here's the output:

root@server00:/etc/namedb/master# named-checkconf -z
dns_master_load: master/zone00.dnslab.org:2: unexpected end of line
dns_master_load: master/zone00.dnslab.org:1: unexpected end of input
master/zone00.dnslab.org:5: no TTL specified; zone rejected
master/zone00.dnslab.org:7: no TTL specified; zone rejected

master/zone00.dnslab.org failed: unexpected end of input
zone zone00.dnslab.org/IN: not loaded due to errors.

Maybe a simple "$TTL value missing" or something?
