This won't work if you are not using virtual hosting but we set up a generic
zone file for each web server like this:
$TTL 26400
@ IN SOA bsd.amplex.net. support.amplex.net. (
<blah blah>
@ IN A 209.57.124.27
@ 600 IN MX 10 mailsrv.amplex.net.
www IN A 209.57.124.27
ftp IN A 209.57.124.27
mail IN CNAME pop3.amplex.net.
pop3 IN CNAME pop3.amplex.net.
smtp IN CNAME smtp.amplex.net.
stmp IN CNAME smtp.amplex.net.
and then just keep using that in the named.conf file:
zone "dynamicsmfg.com" {
type master;
file "web.virtuals.dns";
};
zone "myphotovideo.com" {
type master;
file "web.virtuals.dns";
};
BIND doesn't care that the same file is referenced for different domains. The
only time you need to make a different zone file is if the customer needs
something special. We don't worry about reverse DNS for virtual hosted
customers - the reverse points to the web servers name.
I'm sure there are even better solutions using databases...
