not like this. Note that:

- "*" in source address will apply for all non-existing domains, which means,
any domain already existing in xyz.gov.in will NOT be affected.
- "*" in destination will not work as wildcard.

the DNAME already recommended by Dave Warren is what you want:

xyz.gov.in.	DNAME	xyz.in.

another possibility is to include the same file to zone files for both
domains as Leonard Mills recommended.  This way you can also have other,
different records in both domains, good when you want transition from one
domain to another.
