When I try to park or add and add-on domain it will not resolve. After I try to restart bind, it will not restart and fail….

When I took a look at the zone file for the domain In question I noticed "root" in the zone file where other domains have "86400" in its place (see below). When I manually replace "root" with "86400" and restart named everything works fine.

I am not sure why cpanel is doing this and why when I create an account via WHM it works but add-ons and parked domains via cpanel do not, sub domains work fine.
