Yup - that sure does it. However, it is still possible to do
Very Stupid Things (tm). Anyone running bind should not that
this combination of things causes great silliness:
$ORIGIN mydomain.com.
@ IN SOA ......
; Nameservers
IN NS foo.mydomain.com ; oops, missing trailing period
Really dumb, and it had my wondering what was wrong with my $INCLUDE -
nothing, of course.
Thanks for the help. I now have a nice clean db.external with
a corresponding view. db.internal merely $INCLUDES db.external
as its first statement and has a corresponding view. Now when I
modify *anything* - $TTL, a host definition ... whatever, it propagates
into both views with a single edit.
