Of course BIND can do all of this. It is the reference implementation
for DNS.
If you have multiple domains sharing a single network, then just
include the different hosts in the same ZZ.YY.XX.in-addr.arpa zone
file:
15 IN PTR wais.easterbunny.org
26 IN PTR gopher.santaclaus.org
31 IN PTR archie.rainman.org
If you have multiple domains on multiple networks, use a separate zone
file for each separately identifiable network: e.g., 10.14.28.0/24
gets 28.14.10.in-addr.arpa; and 192.168.84.0/24 gets
84.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
I don't quite understand your last, though. It is almost always the
case [except in the rare instance of stealth primaries] that a
"primary" or "master" DNS server is one of the DNS servers for the
computers in its domain.
Fair 'nuff?
