sharing zone files

[Kevin Darcy]

It works just fine as long as all of the names are zone-relative (e.g. 
foo.example1.com, foo.example2.com can be just "foo" in the shared zone 
file) or absolute (e.g. the MX record for example1.com and example2.com 
both point to smtp.someotherdomain.com., with a trailing period), and 
you're just reading in that single, manually-maintained file for each 
zone. It obviously doesn't work so well when you have other kinds of 
domain-specific mappings, e.g. example1.com's MX points to 
example1.bigmailhostingcompany.com, but example2.com's MX points to 
example2.bigmailhostingcompany.com), or if you want some day to enable 
Dynamic Update for one or more of the zones...

                                                                         
                                                            - Kevin
