Using xargs to process file from list?

I've got a file full of domains in the format of

domain.com
domain2.com
domain3.com

I need to run the following command for each line

mkzone <domain> <ip>

Is there any way I could use xargs to execute mkzone <line1 from txtfile> 192.168.0.2
mkzone <line2 from txtfile> 192.168.0.2

for each line in my text file?

I figure I could it with xargs, maybe a for in file loop in bash. I'm not sure for either way.

Any ideas?

With a POSIX compliant shell (like ksh or bash):

Code:

for domain in $(<file_full_of_domains)

do

  mkzone $domain 192.168.0.2

done
