An explicit directive for TTL was defined in RFC2308
"
4 - SOA Minimum Field

   The SOA minimum field has been overloaded in the past to have three
   different meanings, the minimum TTL value of all RRs in a zone, the
   default TTL of RRs which did not contain a TTL value and the TTL of
   negative responses.

   Despite being the original defined meaning, the first of these, the
   minimum TTL value of all RRs in a zone, has never in practice been
   used and is hereby deprecated.

[...]

   The Master File format [RFC 1035 Section 5] is extended to include
   the following directive:

                           $TTL <TTL> [comment]

"

Bind 8.2 started complaining (everything still works) if it is missing.
Add it before the start of your SOA like

$TTL    86400
@   IN SOA  doheny.BEACH.NET.   dan.doheny.BEACH.NET. (


See http://www.isc.org/bind8.2/master.html for more info on
zone files.
