That's normal shorthand that bind9 understands.  A line without an RR
defaults to the RR listed on the line before.  This is why you can do
things like

@                       2008041501         ; Serial
                            518400         ; Refresh
                             86400         ; Retry
                           2419200         ; Expire
                             86400 )       ; Default TTL

                  IN      NS      foo
                  IN      NS      bar
                  IN      NS      baz

                  IN      MX      10      mail


All of those RRs refer back to '@', even though you don't list @ on each
line (@ is shorthand for the zone being served).
