It should be at the *VERY* top of your zone file.  So:

	$TTL            3d
	@       IN      SOA     ns1 hostmaster (
						 2000082700 ; Serial number yyyymmddnn
						 30m   ; Refresh
						 15m    ; Retry
						 1w  ; expire
						 1d ) ; Minimum TTL

				IN     NS      ns2.domain.com.
				IN     NS      ns1.domain.com.

											  IN A 10.9.8.7
	www                             IN A 10.9.8.7

	ftp        IN CNAME www
