In my named.boot file I have:
...
primary		quotron.com	quotron.zone
...

In quotron.zone, I have:

$INCLUDE /etc/named.ns

In /etc/named.ns, I have:

@	IN	SOA ...
...

When I restart named (on Sun 4.1), it complains "quotron.zone: no SOA record",
but when I copy the file /etc/named.ns into quotron.zone and delete the
$INCLUDE statement all is well.  Is $INLUCDE supposed to work like it does
with cpp?  If not, it sounds like the Sun software is giving a bogus warning
message.

Note that the domain server seems to work even with this message.
