question about overlapping reverse zones

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to configure in Bind
overlapping reverse zones. For example, load all reverse zones for
IPv4 private addressing that come configured by default with the
package Bind of my Linux distribution:

zone "10.in-addr.arpa"      { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.empty"; };

And only add one new zone for a specific zone for which I need reserve
resolution:

zone "10.10.10.in-addr.arpa"      { type master; file
"/etc/bind/db.rev.10.10.10"; };

- Could I configure two overlapping in-addr.arpa zones in Bind?
- If I do a reverse zone resolution I suppose that the more specific
zone (for 10.10.10.10 zone 10.10.10.in-addr.arpa) would be the chosen
by Bind to respond (instead of 10.in-addr.arpa). Is that true?

Thanks,
