Yup.  We create 1 zone per host (per fabric).

In our case, our media server has a single zone on each fabric.  It
contains the WWNs of the HBA, the Fibre/SCSI bridges, and the storage
arrays for its DSSUs.

This makes it much easier if you ever have to swap an HBA (and we have
had one fail on our master/media server) - I only have to update 1 zone.
