Hi!

When i have two or more identical zones, i make one zone file
like this..

(/var/named/master/identical

$TTL 86400
@	IN	SOA	nsserver.domain.com. hostmaster.domain.com. (
			bla bla
			)
		
	IN	NS	nsserver.domain.com.

www	IN	A	100.100.100.100
ftp	IN	CNAME	www

and in the named.conf i make the two zones pointing on the same
file

zone "a.com" in {
	type master;
	file "master/identical";
};

zone "b.com" in {
	type master;
	file "master/identical";
};

Do you have the results you whant with this?
