This is way off topic but who can resist a dawg in need? ;)

If you will be primary for both domains, you can simply add the new record
files to your current DNS. Your named.boot file would look something like
this:

directory                                                 /usr/lib/named
primary        happydawg.net                    dawg.hosts
primary        xxxcatabuse.com                 cat.hosts
primary        1.168.192.in-addr.arpa       named.rev
primary        0.0.127.in-addr.arpa           named.local
cache           .                                         named.root


This way, www.happydawg.net and www.xxxcatabuse.com can be made to be directly
resolveable to the same IP address.

Cheers,

Chris
