I have two pre 9.3 servers running with two views on each one but using the 
dual ip address method of keeping the zone updates separated. It works well 
and has for the last few years.
I need to conserve ip's on the local lan segment and also want the added 
features of 9.3 hence the test to use tsig to separate the zone transfer for 
the two views.
I took my two working named.conf files and copied them over to my two test 
systems and made the few changes the FAQ indicates. I also cut out all except 
1 zone to do the testing. I don't want to upgrade the live servers to 9.3 and 
then implement the tsig method of zone transfers just to find that the 
slave's external and internal views are the same! I did that when I converted 
the servers from 8 to 9 and implemented views! Took a while to realise that 
poor dudes out on the 'net where been given private ip's to connect to! Down 
went the slave until I found the info in the FAQ. Ah well we live and learn!

Cheers
