No default TTL set using SOA minimum instead

If you are getting the following error for one or more of your zone files with BIND:

No default TTL set using SOA minimum instead.

The reason for this is since BIND 8.2, you need a $TTL directive to set the default TTL for the zone. Add a '$TTL XXXXXX' (XXXXXX denotes the default TTL in seconds) directive at the begining of each zone file above the SOA record.
