The operators of this specific BIND instance manually edit the zone files.

I would like to do a batch of updates across several hundred zones,
periodically, without interfering with manual editing. This is preferable
than writing a script to perform batch changes. After the periodic
update, I would like to restore the zones to frozen, so the
operators can continue to perform edits to the zone files.

Additionally, it is also preferable to perform these operations from a
remote server.

Thanks for the response, looks like in the end it will be a script.
