view for a zone?

It is not possible to set up views for just one zone. It really is all-
or-nothing. Think of each view as a completely separate, unrelated
name server.
However, one thing you can do is share zone files between views. It's
still annoying, and they still get loaded once per view instead of
just once, but at least you wouldn't need to maintain two copies of
most of your zones.
Some better ideas:
- Set up a separate set of name servers for this one customer. Use
views there. Don't use views on your main name servers.
- Use a different name server. I believe djbdns, for all its quirks,
is able to provide the functionality of views granularly, record-by-
record, instead of for the entire name server.
