	Firstly it's not a SOA file, it's a zone file or a master file.

	These two ways are synonymous assuming $ORIGIN is company.com.

	"DNS and BIND" for the DNS side of the problem.  However most
	people come unstuck configuring the http server.  As log as the
	DNS returns the correct IP address it has done its job.  Getting
	the correct set of web pages server is the http server's job.
