Multiple zones share same DB?

Dave,

Gotcha, I had neglected to use "@" and was trying to use multiple $ORIGIN`s
and RR`s in my db record, which is why it was complaining about out of zone
data. :)  Usually I
would maintain a separate DB record for each zone although on this occasion
I have two domains within different ORIGINS which I would prefer to use the
same DB record
to keep things tidy.
