I use a mixture of both for large zones. I will commonly split them up <br>
for administrative purposes (for permissions per zone) as well as to <br>
limit potential failures from incorrect configuration.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind the additional records that need to be in the parent zone <br>
if you do split a zone up (eg. NS records, DS records) - 'pdnsutil <br>
check-zone' is quite useful to find these.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
