sharing zone files

It works just fine as long as all of the names are zone-relative (e.g.
foo.example1.com, foo.example2.com can be just "foo" in the shared zone
file) or absolute (e.g. the MX record for example1.com and example2.com
both point to smtp.someotherdomain.com., with a trailing period), and
you're just reading in that single, manually-maintained file for each
zone. It obviously doesn't work so well when you have other kinds of
domain-specific mappings, e.g. example1.com's MX points to
example1.bigmailhostingcompany.com, but example2.com's MX points to
example2.bigmailhostingcompany.com), or if you want some day to enable
Dynamic Update for one or more of the zones...
