"Mounting" a zone in two locations

	You can use a "foo.B.com. DNAME foo.A.com".  Requires the servers
	for foo.B.com to know how to handle DNAMES (as BIND 9 does).
	This will may everything below foo.B.com to the same prefix under
	foo.A.com.

	One really needs to ask why you need to add names to foo.B.com
	at all?
