Linux : Error reloading named domain.tld.hosts:0: ignoring out-of-zone data (domain.tld)

Getting this error reloading named on your secondary name server after creating a new zone?

domain.tld.hosts:0: ignoring out-of-zone data (domain.tld)
domain.tld/IN: has 0 SOA records
domain.tld/IN: has no NS records
domain.tld/IN: not loaded due to errors.
_default/domain.tld/IN: bad zone

This probably mean you are missing server “type” for one zone somewhere in your named.conf :

type slave;

Complete config should look like this :

zone "domain.tld" {
type slave;
file "domain.tld.hosts";
masters { 0.0.0.0; };
};
