Hello.
I'm in doubt about defining a SOA record to a zone.
Is this correct and valid?

$TTL    86400
$ORIGIN teste.com.
@                       1D IN SOA       @ root (
                                       42              ; serial (d.
adams)
                                       3H              ; refresh
                                       15M             ; retry
                                       1W              ; expiry
                                       1D )            ; minimum

                       1D IN NS        @
                       1D IN A         192.168.1.3
www                     IN A            192.168.1.2


This is just a example. In fact, my zone will be a public zone with valid
ip addresses.

My doubt is if it's correct specify the "owner" and "source-dname" with
"@", once "@" denotes the current origin. If I used $ORIGIN like in example
then I suppose that "@" will define just "teste.com" too.

But I make this test into a interna DNS server and look as a valid
configuration.


I've seen a number of configurations where the $ORIGIN is set and then the '@' sign is used as the first position in the SOA. But I've never understood that as I thought that the idea of the @ was to use the ORIGIN as defined in the 'zone' statement. Either way the ISC training suggested that the @ not be used in practice as its often looked-over and inappropriately copied to other files. Therefore I would suggest that placing the '@' character in other locations really isn't a good idea. think about the inverse address, the above isn't going to work there.

One other nit, we see the last value of the SOA commented with 'minimum' all the time, but since RFC 2308 - Negative Caching of DNS Queries (DNS NCACHE) - Its the negative cache value when a $TTL is present.
