Metazones or Something Else?

[John Anderson]

Yes, the actual zone information, that would appear in named.conf something similar to:

zone "name" in {
  optionA;
  optionB;
  optionN;
};

John,

Zone information? As in the named.conf file and not the zone files?

While searching for an industry standard method of accomplishing this task, I came across this rather dated document that Paul Vixie wrote on accomplishing exactly this task. [ http://dotat.at/tmp/metazones.pdf ] Since reading that document, I have been unsuccessful in locating any documentation of this feature on ISC's website.
