Yes - you can reference the same zone file in the 'file' statement of
the zone clauses. You need to construct a zone file that uses
unqualified names - the nameserver will append the zone name for records
that don't end with a period.
So when it loads the domain-a.com zone from the file it will qualify all
the unqualified names with domain-a.com and likewise for domain-b.com.
