[ale] DNS Server Config for Two Domain Names?

[Matt Smith]

Yes it will work in either version, other than the syntax of the config
file.  I forget when they went from the named.boot to the named.conf, when
the changed the syntax slightly, but the general technique will work in
either.

Matt, 

Thanks for the reply, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.  I found 
lots of ways to do it with multiple zone files as well as playing tricks 
with CNAME/DNAME combinations, but not an easy short way using one zone 
file. 

I am assuming this is ok for BIND 8.x and 9.x?
