I;m not sure exactly what you are trying to do.  If you want both
foo.net and foo.com to point to the same domain, you can do it this way:

In named.conf:

zone "foo.net" {
        type master;
        file "foo.db";
};

zone "foo.com" {
        type master;
        file "foo.db";
};

Where foo.db contains the zone data.
