Actually this was easy as eating apple pie in 2.2.1 (the version we are running). All I have to do is run the admin application and choose any domain to duplicate. Hit Command + i on the keyboard change the domain name and the serial number and click okay. Then choose "Save As" from the "File" menu and enter the new domain name as the file name and click "Save". Then just add the domain to the secondary DNS server. Wallah, I have just duplicated an existing domain. I would hope that you could still do it that easily (or easier) in 3.0 and 3.5, but as we have not upgraded to 3.x I do not know if it would be the same.
