This is quit reasonable. Just use fully qualified path names
for one or the other. Alternatively use a symbolic link.
e.g.
options {
"directory /etc/named";
}
zone "master.example" {
type master;
file "master.example.db";
}
zone "slave.example" {
type slave;
file "cache/slave.example.db";
masters {...};
}
and /etc/named/cache is a symbolic link to /var/named.
