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.
