No.  You need to create separate zones for each domain that you host.  Each
one should have its own zone statement in named.conf.  If they're all
identical, you can point them to the same filename, which can look like:

@ IN SOA ns0.mymachine.com. hostmaster.mymachine.com. (
               ... ; usual SOA parameters
               )
  IN NS  ns0.mymachine.com.
  IN NS  ns1.mymachine.com.
  IN A   169.254.40.41

www IN CNAME @  ; if you want to support www.<domain> as well as <domain>

You would probably want to have a distinct domain for the mymachine.com
domain, so that it can have ns0 and ns1 entries that wouldn't be included
in all the other domains that you host.
