I'm not sure what you mean by "connecting to the internet through
{domain}". IP connections don't occur "through" domains -- DNS operates
at a higher level of the network stack than, say IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.
so it is not involved in network routing. If you just want to host your
client's domain in addition to your own, then have multiple "type
master" zone definitions in your /etc/named.conf. If your client wants
you to do, say, mail relaying from your server to his server, then you'll
have to set that up in your mail server, but that's not DNS-specific.
Ditto for whatever other services/protocols your client wants you to deal
with.
