Stephen,

You have to have a separate zone file for each domain name, and a separate 
>zone "x.x.xxx.in-addr.arpa" file for each IP address you use, including
static IP addresses through your ISP and any LAN addresses you use.  These
have to be referenced in your /etc/named.conf file.

Note that each zone file can reference only 1 domain with its subdomains.
