bind /etc/named.conf should domains be in internal and external view section?

I have two WHM/cPanel servers running bind as the dns server and functioning as web and dns server. Looking at the file /etc/named.conf I notice the older server has all domains in internal view and external view. (duplicated in both internal and external views section) On the new server I notice domains are in the internal view section only of /etc/named.conf Both seem to report fine testing with intodns.com but I'm wondering which is correct.

  Hey hey! I checked a new server running CentOS 7 and cPanel 94, and I see the zones in both. If you run the following command, does the file change on the system? /scripts/rebuilddnsconfig

  Thanks very much for checking on an example install for me and for the solution. Yes, moving /etc/named.conf to named.conf.backup and then running /scripts/rebuilddnsconfig fixed it, recreating a new named.conf file with the authoritative domains in both the internal and external view sections. Thanks!
