You can have any number of zones on one server [within reason].  There
are those who have thousands of zones and more on one server.  Just add
more "zone" statements to your /etc/named.conf.

It is pretty wasteful to have only one zone per physical server, unless
there are other reasons [the interior server in a firewalled LAN, e.g.].
