Parent/Child Zone Delegation + Virtual Host question

[Kevin Darcy]

You spell it "ankle" in some places, "ankel" in others.

The cabbage.com entries don't belong in the ankle.human.edu zone file, 
or _vice_versa_. Ditto for asparagus.com. If the contents of multiple 
zones are identical, in relative terms, then you can use the "multiple 
references to the same zone file" hack. But all 3 zones here have 
different data, even in relative terms (asparagus.com and cabbage.com 
are very close, except cabbage.com has an MX record that asparagus.com 
lacks), so you'll separate zone files for each zone.

                                                                         
                                                         - Kevin
