It's not like the SOA is really useful unless you're using zone transfers anyway. I'd imagine dreamhost would be using some kind of multi-master system pulling data from a central database anyway.

The minimum TTL in the SOA is also used for negative cacheing.

This was just the most amusing error in their DNS that I spotted. The zone's nameservers were lame and/or serving none of the expected RR sets, e.g. A, MX and even NS.
