You'd need "multi-master" in order to keep accepting Dynamic Updates
while one or more of your masters' named processes is being recycled.
Stock BIND doesn't support multi-master, but some commercial offerings
which feed BIND (or some other nameserver implementation) from a
back-end database have this feature.
Alternatively, convince the provider of your DHCP client to implement
queueing and retry of failed Dynamic Update attempts...
