That it doesn't do.  It actually doesn't really have any knowledge of
views to begin with.  In my case, I set it up where the DNS servers were
configured with a named.conf that setup the views with include statements
in each. The includes for each view were "external/named.conf" and
"internal/named.conf" which went into the subdirectories where ProBIND2
built it's config files.

Ultimately, it doesn't "really support" views, but so long as you don't
mind managing the databases separately, it still simplifies matters a good
deal.

Does it grok views?  That is, when adding/changing/deleting an address 
can it (maybe through rules you specify) make those changes through 
multiple views with appropriate addresses for each view?  Now _that_ 
would save me a bunch of time.
