OK, so you didn't specify any TTL on any of those records. The TTL would go
here:

host      86400     IN     rrtype    data

So just add '$TTL 86400' as the first line of the file to quell those
warnings.

However, they *are* just warnings, saying that because you didn't provide an
explicit TTL, it decided to use the SOA minimum value instead (86400).
