How do I update multiple views?

Ah, excellent question.

Yes, it is. With BIND through 9.2.1, you need to send the update from
an address in a view (or to an address in a view, if you use match-
destinations) to update that view. So, for example, if you had two views,
like so:

view internal {
match-clients { 10/8; };
...
};

view external {
match-clients { any; };
...
};

You'd need to send the update from 10/8 to update zones in the
internal view, and from anywhere else to update the external view.

Now, with BIND 9.3.0, the match-clients view substatement allows
you to specify keys as well as addresses. So you can place updates
signed with a particular key into a zone you specify, and update a
particular view simply by signing the update with the appropriate key.
