OK, I'm beginning to understand the problem...

Well, in my case the setup is really simple, so the 1 to 1 relation is 
everything I need. But I can understand that there is no automatism 
built into bind if it is not universally applicable.
In the meantime, I have found a perl script at www.mkrdns.org that might 
suit my needs; at least I'll try it and see what happens...
Greetings & Thanks,
