Replace every occurrence of example1.com with @ and every occurrence
of something.example1.com by something and you are almost done.

Two solutions:
1) Fast and hacky: use only one zone file for every domain. If the
contents of the zone file are relative (see my first advice), it will
work.
2) Clean and modern: do not produce zone files by hand, have them
created by a program which reads the database of managed domains.
