You can have as many primary lines (4.9) or zone sections (8.x) as you need/want in named.boot/named.conf You have to setup separate zone data files for each domain. For reverse DNS, multiple domains can be listed in the PTR records of the in-addr.arpa zone 1 IN PTR www.domainA.com 2 IN PTR mail.domainA.com 3 IN PTR www.domainB.com > Also, will I need to register the IP/primary name server with NIC? Yes, use the HOST template > Do I have to use NS.mydomain.com as the nameserver, or can i use > mydomain.com also? Give it any name you want. The name you use needs to have an A record and the IP address has to have a PTR pointing to the same name, i.e. no CNAME's here.
