If hosting dns master for more than one domian at a single ip what is 
the best way to achive this the more I think about it the more confused 
I become. The first way that comes to mind goes something like this.

Create a entery in named.conf like below

zone "computerking.ca" {

type master;

file "pz/db.computerking.ca.external";

};

zone "102.206.205.in-addr.arpa" {

type master;

file "pz/db.205.206.102.computerking";

};

zone "sculpturaldesign.ca" {

type master;

file "db.sculpturaldesign.external";

};

zone "102.206.205.in-addr.arpa" {

type master;

file "pz/db.205.206.102.sculpturaldesign";

};

I used to just have db.205.206.102 that looked like this

;==========================================================

; usr/local/etc/namedb/pz/db.205.206.102 @v20

;==========================================================

$TTL 3h

;

;Origin added to names not ending in a dot 192.168.0in-addr

;

@ IN SOA computerking.ca. root.computerking.ca. (

2003111301 ; serial

3h ; refresh after 1 hour

1h ; retry after 1 hour

1w ; expire ofter one week

;

------------------------------------------------------------------

; NAME SERVERS

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN NS ns1.computerking.ca.

IN NS ns1.higcoup.ca.

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; ADDRESSES POINT TO CANONICAL NAME

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

146 IN PTR v20.computerking.ca.

; end of file

;==============================================================================

now i have created one file for each domain db.205.206.102.computerking 
and db.205.206.102.sculpturaldesign the only difference is the IN PTR 
records one is

146 IN PTR v20.computerking.ca

and one is this

146 IN PTR v21.sculpturaldesign.ca

would it be easier to add both PTR records to one file db.205.206.102??

then do I just add another A record to my db.computerking.ca.external 
file or a cname what is the most etiquette way to do this. do cnames 
even use PTR records I don’t think so the more i think the worse it gets 
help Will either of these methods work. The one with separate files 
seems to make more sense in my head I think. Then I need a 
db.sculputrladesign.ca.external file too right?????? please someone 
point me in the right direction my head is spinning then adding the 
slave files on my other server would make more sense mabey if the files 
were seperate help.
