If the shared zonefile (all RRīs identical for all zones) is not possible, then the BIND $INCLUDE control statement is the next best assist. "db.TTL" would include one line $TTL 86400 and "db.infrastructure" to be $INCLUDEd could look like this: @ NS ns1.ISPdomain.com. @ NS ns2.ISPdomain.com. localhost A 127.0.0.1 @ MX 10 MX1.ISPmailhub.com. @ MX 20 MX2.ISPmailhub.com. smtp A ip.ad.re.ss ; users send outbound mail here pop A ip.ad.re.ss ; users read mailboxes mail here webmail A ip.ad.re.ss ; users do on-line mail here That leaves only the SOA, www, ftp, etc non-common A records in each db.zonefile, which would looke like this: $INCLUDE db.TTL @ SOA ... $INCLUDE db.infrastructure ;non-common RRīs follow @ A ip.ad.re.ss www A ip.ad.re.ss ftp A ip.ad.re.ss Warning: Iīm a contractor for M&M Men & Miceīs Quick DNS 3.5 provides a remote GUI for managing BIND8 on various platforms, and Iīm trying to get them to include FreeBSD in the variety. If youīd like that port done, visit their site, DL the eval, and then send them an email asking for the port.
