In a chroot()  ('named -t <path>') environment, the directory 
<path>/var/run should exist, and if you change user ('.. -u named'), you
should make sure this dir is writable (likely owned) by user named.

The SOA value meaning changed slightly in v8.

To avoid this warning, add the TTL directive to your zone file, such as

------------

$TTL 21600
foo.bar.  IN  SOA ...(and so on)

...
-------------

Good luck,
