My DNS Zone Template

The custom entries added are not valid. By default, the stock DNS zone templates already allow for name server entries to be present, as correctly indicated by cpanelinfoseeker:

For reference, here are the contents of the stock-default DNS zone template at /var/cpanel/zonetemplates/standardvirtualftp:

Code:

; cPanel %cpversion%
; Zone file for %domain%
$TTL %ttl%
@      %nsttl%    IN      SOA     %nameserver%. %rpemail%. (
        %serial%    ; serial, todays date+todays
        86400        ; refresh, seconds
        7200        ; retry, seconds
        3600000        ; expire, seconds
        86400 )        ; minimum, seconds

%domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver%.

To add to Donald's reply, the template variables in the stock template are the only variables available.
