How to handle zones that need to be the same in all views?

[Mark Andrews]

This really isn't that hard.  Just use tsig and transfer the zone
between views on the slave machine.  Just ensure that you transfer
from the view that is getting the notify messages from the master.

You will want BIND 9.9.x or later.

key view1 {
	....
};

....

key view16 {
	....
};

acl viewkeys {
	key view1;
	key view2;
	...
	key view16;
};

view view1 {
	match-clients { key view1; !viewkeys; ....; };
	zone xxx {
		type slave;
		masters { ....; };
		file "slave/view1/xxx";
		also-notify {
			 127.0.0.1 key view2;
			 127.0.0.1 key view3;
			 ....
			 127.0.0.1 key view16;
		};
	};
}

view view2 {
	match-clients { key view2; !viewkeys; ....; };
	zone xxx {
		type slave;
		masters { 127.0.0.1 key view1; };
		file "slave/view2/xxx";
	};
};

...

view view16 {
	match-clients { key view16; !viewkeys; ....; };
	zone xxx {
		type slave;
		masters { 127.0.0.1 key view1; };
		file "slave/view16/xxx";
	};
};
