Bind zones can be tricky with formatting, probably just observing what your
tool is generating that works matches the formatting of your hand-built
zone. Manually managing bind zones is rather annoying I've found, this was
using it for some very large companies.
Last time I setup dns I used unbind on a hosted server, it's a bit less
quirky than bind, plus does things like dns over https and other
evolutionary dns security features. Might find it more to your liking.
