I need to define several views. They will be largely identical, probably differing in only one zone definition. What I had hoped to do was define all the common zones in an unused-view, and then use "in-view" to reference the several zones in the other views.

view "initial" { {match-clients "none"; };
  zone foo { . . .};
  zone bar { . . .};
};

view "v1" { {match-clients key v1-key; };
  allow-transfer { key v1-key; };
  zone foo { in-view initial; };
  zone bar { in-view initial; };
  zone baz { . . .};
};

I had expected the zones foo and bar to be shared from a single instance in memory, that BIND would use the match-client to get the traffic to the appropriate view, and then use that view's allow-transfer list. But the behavior I'm observing is the allow-transfer of view v1 isn't being used.

When I use:
  rndc zonestatus bar IN v1
I can see the zone is defined on the primary. But when I try to transfer it to the secondary using the v1-key, the request is REFUSED.

When I stuff the allow-transfer line from the "v1" view into the "initial" view, the transfer initiated with v1-key succeeds.

I had been thinking of "allow-transfer" to be a property of a _view_, but it now appears it may be assigned as a property to the _zones_ defined in that view.

So my specific questions are:
A) When I reference a zone with "in-view", can any properties be
   superseded?
B) If so, which properties?


(FWIW, BIND version 9.11.24 on the primary and 9.16.8 on the secondary.)
