You may put it all in one file, although I wouldn't:
name1.asd01 IN A ...
name2.sad01 IN A ...
...
name1.asd02 IN A ...
name2.asd02 IN A ...
...
Or you may make separate zone files for each zone on the same server:
db.ran:
$TTL 1d
@ IN SOA ... (...)
IN NS ns.ran
asd01 IN NS ns.ran
asd02 IN NS ns.ran
...
And then, in your named.conf file, you would have to declare these as
separate zones, with the names of their zone files, etc.
If you are running an old, old BIND 4, you would do the same thing in
the named.boot file. The zone files haven't changed much, except that
you used to be able to confuse yourself by having multiple unrelated
domains in the same zone file. ;-]
