[ale] BIND split view on secondary/slave server

[Lightner, Jeff]

I'm saying to me it would seem simpler to do it that way.   Just because
you setup most zones to transfer from master doesn't mean you have to
set them all up that way.   However, I noted you CAN set them up on the
master and transfer them.   Also as noted I do all my zones so haven't
tried what you want to do.

So instead of transferring them, it'd be easier to just maintain the
slave view as a separate zone for which the slave server is the master?

I am starting to remember why I disliked BIND... It'd be nice if a RR
could have a qualifier attached to it, where you could say "return this
one only if the inquirer is in a.b.c.d/e range" and have that replicate.
I am a big fan of All In One Place, but I am also a big fan of Not More
Complex Than Strictly Necessary.
