- today they are no administrative differences, but maybe in the future you
want to delegate a zone elsewhere. If the zone is on its own, you only have
to change who the master ist for the zone. If all records are in one zone,
you must change every record.

- if you put all records in one zone, you increase your traffic to all
secondarys which cannot do incremental updates like NT4.

So what is the reason to make not for each zone a seperate zonefile?

Tom.
