I have this script that I wrote to make named.conf and db.domain.com files automatically here what I have so far that where the problem is

Code:

function make_dns {
cat <<- _EOF_
    `$ORIGIN` .
    `$TTL`    1d
    $dname     IN      SOA     $nameserver. $USER.$dname. (
                        2007080801      ; Serial
                                1h      ; Refresh
                                1h      ; Retry
                                1d      ; Expire
                                1h )    ; Negative Cache TTL

                IN      NS      $namesvr.
                IN      A       $IP

                IN      MX      1       mail.$dname.
                IN      MX      5       mail.$dname.
                IN      MX      5       mail.$dname.
                IN      MX      10      mail.$dname.

    `$ORIGIN` $dname.
    www             IN      A       $HOSTIP
    mail            IN      CNAME   www
    ftp        IN    CNAME    www
_EOF_
}

You see $ORIGIN an $TTL are suppose to be $ORIGIN and $TTL and Idea how to output them not as a Variable like Bash Thinks there are?

Use a backslash ("\") before the dollar sign to identify it as a literal.
