i just want to see how a "dig SOA example.lan." would look like to 
contain two nameservers, that below form the thread is as always a SOA 
containing one origin

example.lan
      origin = testdc1.example.lan
      mail addr = hostmaster.example.lan
      serial = 3
      refresh = 900
      retry = 600
      expire = 86400
      minimum = 3600
