Set yourself up, eh?  ;-)  Very easily doable, of course.

Why separate directories?

BIND, of course.  Else why ask the BIND newsgroup/mailing list?

There are not separate solutions.  One size fits all.  Just be sure to
have appropriate MX records in your zone files.

The following is for BIND 8.*.  Similar but non-identical statements
are true for BIND 4.*, which is not recommended.

In your /etc/named.conf file, have a different "zone" statement for
each domain, and a different "zone" statement for each reverse DNS
domain:

zone "domain1.net"	IN	{
	type master;
	file "domain1-file";
};

zone "domain2.net"	IN	{
	type master;
	file "domain2-file";
};

etc.

zone "12.11.10.in-arpa.addr"	IN	{
	type master;
	file "zone.10.11.12.0";
};
...

If you really want the files to be in different directories, you can
declare them so: "directory1/file1", ...  But why?
