Lets say I have two zones in bind like example.com and example2.com, is there a way to make it so one of the zones just mirrors another zone? So if I want all the domain/subdomains to match up, could I make it so I only have to edit one zone?

So say i edit the example.com zone and add www3 A record I want it to automaticly work for example2.com.

I'm using Bind with no control panel. I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it, just not sure how.

Zone types:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/man...ction-nameservers.html

Slave zone: "slave nameservers get their namespace information from master nameservers. "

Caching only: "Offers name-to-IP resolution services, but is not authoritative for any zones"

Those would be the only possibilities for a zone types. Slave won't work because all zone information is pulled from the master (meaning you can't add new records). Caching won't work because it's not authoritative.
