I am not familiar with the way that your Linux distro does it, but for
FreeBSD I separated the static authoritative, dynamic authoritative, and
slave zones into separate directories so that we could use the principle
of "least privilege" in the permissions on the directories and files.
I plan to use views
Why? IME doing so causes way more problems than it solves, and is rarely
worth the effort to do properly. Don't just do this because "that's how
it's done," make sure you have a real need, and triple check that the
problems you think you're solving can't be solved other ways.
and have the internal zone files in
/var/named/internal (or /var/named/data/internal) and the external zone
files in /var/named/external (or /var/named/data/external).
If it were me I'd do /var/named/{external|internal}/{master|dynamic|slave}
