I know this is slightly different, but I tend to have a standard data
file called something like: pri.jero-standard.zone
this looks like:
@ IN SOA bunbun.jero.co.uk. dns.jero.co.uk. (
<snipped SOA values to avoid holy war ;)>
)
NS crushed.velvet.net.
NS bunbun.jero.co.uk.
A 62.49.231.23
MX 10 crushed.velvet.net.
* MX 10 crushed.velvet.net.
www A 62.49.231.23
etc.
jero.co.uk, jero.me.uk, etc (yes I'm that sad ;) are then pointed at
this one file from named.conf
AFAICS that does the job you're after - ie serving the same records
for various domains without having to create multiple zone files
On a less serious thread ... what are peoples' favourite vanity Domain
Names the've seen? As a not-too-impressive example I have:
hostna.me.uk
employ.me.uk
The second will have my CV on it in various formats, the former will
be used for my DNS - both when I have some round tuits to hand :)
