We are running about 10 primary zones. You can have all the zones you
want, within reason. Basically when your client performs a DNS query,
your DNS server looks at the URL for the ZONE, if found, the host.

www.domain.com would be zone of domain.com and host of www. If you
don't want anyone going to an external web site such as microsoft.com,
you can add that zone to your DNS server. With no host, they will never
be able to reach microsoft.com, unless they change their IP config to a
different DNS server.

Chris,

Thanks for the response and yes, you are correct about the client's
DHCP config.

I suppose my question could have been worded more clearly as "I can't
seem to find a clear explanation of the implications of configuring
multiple primary zones." If I do so, will it kill anything that
currently is running?
