I use a mixture of both for large zones. I will commonly split them up 
for administrative purposes (for permissions per zone) as well as to 
limit potential failures from incorrect configuration.

Keep in mind the additional records that need to be in the parent zone 
if you do split a zone up (eg. NS records, DS records) - 'pdnsutil 
check-zone' is quite useful to find these.

Thanks
