TTL _is_ an optional field in individual records:

hostname 86400 A www.xxx.yyy.zzz

The 86400 specifies a TTL of 1 day for that record. The TTL for records that
do _not_ have a TTL explicitly specified, as above, is the 'minimum' value
(also called 'minimum TTL') in the zone's SOA record (Domain->Domain
Information).

For records without explicit TTLs, just change the zone's minimum TTL. For
multiple zone files and for records that do have explicit TTLs, you can do it
with AppleScript.
