Is it just parts of zones that need to stay in sync, or are the zones
identical? If the latter, use the same generic zone file for all of
them (one without a $ORIGIN directive), with separate zone entries in
named.conf each using that zone file on the master. The master zone file
looks something like this:
; no $ORIGIN as this is used for several different domains
$TTL 15m
@ IN SOA master.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. (
100 ; serial
1200 ; refresh (20 minutes)
600 ; retry (10 minutes)
3600000 ; expire 41 days 16 hours
900 ) ; min ttl
NS ns1.example.com.
NS ns2.example.com.
NS ns3.example.com.
NS ns4.example.com.
