Emacs associates file extensions and major modes by looking into
`auto-mode-alist` variable, you can clean all `.zone`-matching entries
from it if you don't want Emacs to turn on DNS mode when editing such files:

    (setq auto-mode-alist (delete '("\\.\\(soa\\|zone\\)\\'" . dns-mode) 
auto-mode-alist))
    (setq auto-mode-alist (delete '("\\.zone\\'" . zone-mode) auto-mode-alist))

You may get more information by reading section 27.1 of GNU Emacs manual
(«How Major Modes are Chosen»).
