[ale] DNS server hosting multiple domains

Okay...I know this is not strictly a Linux question, but then again 
neither is why you have to have a CNE to make a hole in a wall :)
(At least our DNS is running on Linux :)

We are getting ready to change domain names, but we want to keep the 
old one active for a while.  Is there any special magic required to get 
DNS to serve both?   What I have done is:
	Put an entry for both domains in /etc/named.boot, each pointing to a
     seperate file with the names for that particular domain.
  
     In all the reverse lookup files, I have set it up so that they 
	only point to one of the domains.

What I've found with nslookup (which is what I expected) is:
  - When I enter www.domain1 or www.domain2, I get the same IP.
  - When I enter the IP for the above, I get the www.domain1, which
    is the domain I have in all the reverse-lookup files.

Am I missing anything?  Is this setup going to cause any trouble?

Thanks!!!  Paranoidly,
	-Dan
