Use includes for the common parts. You create a "common.inc" or similar, and then include this file from both the internal and external view. When you have to change something in the common area, you just have to edit it in common.inc (except for the serial of the zones, which you will still have to increment in both.) IIRC the syntax is: $INCLUDE common.inc Please refer to bind documentation for more information on this statement. HTH, Filipe
