I need to simplify adding and removing a domain so that it is enough

this possible?
I'm sure it's possible. If it were my "big list", and I could see no
alternative but to maintain it in that form, I would probably script
something in Perl which took the information needed and then performed
the necessary manipulations to the zone files and the "big list".
At the simplest for example if I had a file "z" containing
example1.org
example2.org
example3.org
It would be trivial to produce the "big list" file using something like
$ cat z | perl -pe 'chomp; $z=$_; $_="zone \"$z\" {type master; file
\"/etc/bind/zones/$z.db\";};\n"'
zone "example1.org" {type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/example1.org.db";};
zone "example2.org" {type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/example2.org.db";};
zone "example3.org" {type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/example3.org.db";};
$
This would eliminate a lot of the potential for human error which is a
risk when editing files by hand. On the other hand, I have no issues
editing files of *much* more than a thousand lines using emacs or vim.
Is the problem really your text editor?
We could probably help you better if you were to be more forthcoming
about your configuration and the tools which you use.
