In Bind 9 you should have a TTL value at the top of each zone file (before
the SOA). For example:

  $TTL 604800
  @ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
                                1 ; Serial
                           604800 ; Refresh
                            86400 ; Retry
                          2419200 ; Expire
                           604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL

Also, I'm not sure, but I think that PenaltyBox/db.root should be specified
in your named.conf file as 'type master' rather than 'type hint'.

As for catching any further errors, I highly recommend the commands
'named-checkconf', 'named-checkzone', and these two sites:

Hope this helps.
