It would go in the forward zone file (probably "domaine.com.db"). You may also
want to put a corresponding PTR record into the 111.222.0.0.db reverse zone
file.

But you should really understand what you are doing before you start editing
those files. They have quite a picky syntax to them. To be absolutely safe,
put your new entries at the end of the file, and make sure to fully-qualify
and dot-terminate all names. This makes the zonefiles rather unreadable
though, so you should try to learn as much as possible about zonefile syntax
if you're going to be making changes on a regular basis.
