You would NOT use a single zone for this. Views are designed specifically to control what is seen. However, that control is mainly done by acl's specifying which networks access which views. Do you assign specific subnets to each client? If so you could do this with views but processing needed to load dozens of views is not something I can comment on as I think most people only do a couple. (Here we do only internal and external to differentiate what people on the internet see as opposed to what people on our intranet see.)
What a single zone file can be used for is when you have multiple domains that all point to the same IP address and have the same basic information (e.g. domain A records, www A record, ftp A record, same MX records and same DNS servers). At that point you rely on your web server to determine actual landing page based on the URL that got the user there. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Alans Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 1:01 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: no. of Views and Zones On 11/08/2010 12:52 AM, Doug Barton wrote: > On 10/31/2010 9:41 AM, Alans wrote: >> On 10/31/2010 05:48 PM, Alan Clegg wrote: >>> On 10/31/2010 4:48 AM, Alans wrote: >>> Instead of saying "how many views can I get", I think you would be much >>> better off saying "why am I trying to implement more views". >> I'm trying to implement something similar to OpenDNS in a smaller scale. >> i.e. letting each customer to create their own blacklist domains. >> >> So I was thinking if I can create a view for each customer and let them >> edit their zones in a web interface and here my concern is the number of >> views i can create and number of zones/view. > > I'm not sure you quite understand what zones and views are.

Example, customer1 wants to block access to facebook.com while customer2 wants normal access to facebook.com, how a single view can do that? And we are talking about thousands of domains here.
