Oh Thanks - I understand that - I can't comprehend the logic behind composing _same_ $ORIGIN paragraphs over-and-over again - this is an example:
$ORIGIN bar
irish A 1.2.3.4
brit A 1.2.3.5
$ORIGIN bar2
irish2 A 1.2.3.42
brit2 A 1.2.3.52
$ORIGIN bar
irish3 A 1.2.3.43
brit3 A 1.2.3.53
$ORIGIN bar2
irish22 A 1.2.3.422
brit22 A 1.2.3.522
$ORIGIN bar
irish39 A 1.2.3.439
brit39 A 1.2.3.539
$ORIGIN bar2
irish29 A 1.2.3.429
brit29 A 1.2.3.529
...see - What i meant!
It keep splitting on some un-even way --- that "$ORIGIN bar" and "$ORIGIN bar2" keep switching back-and-forth...
Is there any way to have ONLY ONE paragraph per $ORIGIN?
Thanks folks,

When writing the zone file on a slave, BIND uses $ORIGIN so that all
records just have a single label. So instead of writing:
foo.bar IN A 1.2.3.4
it will write:
$ORIGIN bar
foo IN A 1.2.3.4
If you have a zone with lots of levels of subdomain, the file will have
lots of $ORIGIN statements as a result.
