Personally I wouldn't bother with the symlink. Just use the same file
for both zone statements. It works, and is more likely to be
completely obvious to whoever comes along in 6 months who wasn't part
of the original decision making process. Also, add notes to the
named.conf that explain what you're doing and why.

Something like that. :) You don't need the . after the @ sign, but
yeah, you're on the right track.
