Why yes, yes there is…
I wrote a tool to do this a while back -- http://code.google.com/p/dns-slave-expire-checker/
Basically, it runs on the slave and checks to see if the MTIME on the file is getting close to the TTL. If so it will generate a warning, if the zone expires it will generate an error.
I don't think I ever mentioned it's existence to anyone, so YMMV, etc.
Lemme know if it sucks/ has bugs / causes male pattern baldness and I'll try take care of that…
