Well, you're going to need individual zones for each domain, which I 
suspect you know.  The "h2n" utility is supposedly good at automating zone 
files' creation.  All the files will be the same except the domain name.

IP addresses don't have MX records; domain names do.  Each domain will need 
its own MX record.  Technically, if a domain doesn't have an MX record, 
SMTP daemons will use its A record, but you really should include an MX 
record.  Make sure to point it at the canonical (i.e., real) name of your 
mail server.
