The hesiod nameserver addresses do not get dumped.  Note the entries
for clio, beeblebrox, apollo, and suomi.

In named.mit, the comments for the SOA record should be reconciled
with the data.

@               IN      SOA     localhost.mit.edu. hostmaster.mit.edu. (
                                1.1     ; Serial
                                60	; Refresh 3 hours
                                60      ; Retry   1 hour
                                60	; Expire  1000 hours
                                60    ) ; Minimum 24 hours

The man page for named says that the class (IN/HS) field is optional,
but does not specify what the default action is.
