If you have a master zone called {linux,freds,jonys}server, then you
would have something in those domains, such as

bob.linuxserver
foo.linuxserver
joe.fredsserver

You can indeed have PTR records in 192.168.0 pointing to different
domains, that's fine (and in the days of CIDR, sometimes necessary)

What are the _purposes_ of {linux,freds,jonys}server ? and of "lan" ?

If I had a clearer idea of what you are trying to ultimately achieve, I
could steer you in a better direction.

PS. I'm currently moving, so I'll be off the internet for a couple of
days soon.
