Re: BIND question

Just because you have multiple dns entries doesn't mean you require a
different IP for each.  Using my personal domain as an example, you
could do something like this:

$ORIGIN org.
ocdi            IN      SOA     ns.electrac.net. data.electrac.net. (
                2001072601      ;serial
                10800           ;refresh (3H)
                3600            ;retry
                3600000         ;expire
                6400 )          ; minimum ttl

                IN      NS      ns.ocdi.org.
                IN      MX      10 mail.ocdi.org.
                IN      A       64.39.10.139
$ORIGIN ocdi.org.

; note same IP
ns                  1D IN A 64.38.10.139
mainbox             1D IN A 64.39.10.139

; now you can CNAME all your different hosts
www                 1D IN CNAME mainbox
ftp                 1D IN CNAME mainbox
etc
etc
