The best way to do this would be to create your database schema, import
all your data, and then write a script (perl, python, php, etc...etc..)
to create your named.conf and various zone files using data in the
database. Then perform a named reload and your changes are then made.
Bind relies on the files on the OS level, so just dynamically create
those files when you need them to be updated/created/etc.
