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...
