Why dos it tell me to use this format?
domain.tld IN TXT
Sometimes, fully explicit fields help DNS newbies avoid errors. but in general the more shortcuts you use, the less typing, fewer errors.
I mean, why not just:
IN TXT
you can drop the IN network class field, it's the default taken from the (default) IN of the zone statement (which doesn't need IN either).
if I have alread set the $ORIGIN domain.tld. statement in the zone file?
you don't nedd $ORIGIN domain.tld, since the default origin is the domain name of the zone's top node (the domain.com as delegated from the parent zone's NS).
And how do I test it with dig?
dig @NS domain.com txt
