There's no reason named cannot do it, but the question is why would you 
want to? It would make sense to split the zone into /25s if you were 
going to delegate them to your customers, but if you're going to host it 
all on the same server you get a lot of extra complexity for no real 
benefit.

You may get some useful information at
