If you have access to a UNIX shell, you could do the following. Create
two files. One file with the domain names, 1 per line (domain.list).
And the other file a generic db file (db.DOMAIN). Use DOMAIN in the
db.DOMAIN file wherever the domain name should be. Then you can run
something like this:

while read DOMAIN
do
   sed "s at DOMAIN@$DOMAIN at g" < db.DOMAIN > db.$DOMAIN
done < domain.list

You can put the above script into a file to make it easier to edit and
execute. This will create a db file for every domain listed in
domain.list, and will save you a lot of typing.
