yep!

Oh, well, RPZ is certainly a nice addon, but I wouldn't call it a simplification.
Actually, BIND doesn't need a file for each host. It needs a file for each
zone, which is what is called a /zone file/. So long as all virtual hosts
share the same TLD, they fit on the same zone file.
Bind allows different views. That feature allows you to use internal network
number and names on the internal view only, in case you use the server also to
maintain a public domain name.
And of course, you can configure ISC DHCP to work with it.
Good luck
