    The first issue is that my server uses a few views to give
    different IPs
    based on which network the request comes from.  I found that if
    I point
    the zones in the different views to the same key directory,
    there are no
    errors and all views return the same keys when I test with dig. 
    So this
    appears to work.  Are there any gotchas that might come up with
    this setup?

I think this will work because the key files include the zone name, so they will be unique.
I've been doing the same for years and never had any issues.

Good to know.


    The second issue is that I have multiple zones that all point to
    the
    same file since those domains all go to the same set of servers.
    Right
    now, I am using the same zone file for all of them. This works fine
    currently, but when I try to enable DNSSEC for those domains, I
    get an
    error "writable file ... already in use".  The simple answer
    would be to
    make a unique file for each zone, however I would rather keep a
    single
    file updated instead of having to make changes to all of the
    individual
    files whenever something changes with those servers.  So far,
    the only
    other solution I've found is to manage the keys manually, which
    seems to
    add quite a bit of complexity to the setup.  Is there a better
    way to do
    this?



zone "test.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.test.com";
};
zone "test2.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.test.com";
};

I would like to have DNSSEC active on both domains, but since they are sharing a file, Bind complains about it.

If you are using Linux, I'd suggest looking at using filesystem links so that you can have separate files that share the same content. (See "man ln".)


That is an interesting idea.  I'm familiar with hard links, but I hadn't considered using them here.  My other idea was copying one of the zone files to a "master" file and then $INCLUDING that file in each of the individual zone files.  I'm not sure if bind will let me put the SOA into an include.  I'll do some testing on both options later today and see what works.
