Only thing that I see is that the first SOA line is being miswritten.
The second fqdn should be an email address of the person in charge of the
server with the @ replaced with a .
like
@       IN      SOA     ns1.domain.com. hostmaster.mybox.domain.com. (

I also believe that you would want to change the $TTL to match the expire. I
see no problem in moving the TTLs that low other that the added strain on
the server and internet.
