Yep. :) There are a million-and-one (well, a dozen or so) tools on http://www.freshmeat.net. Search for 'BIND'. See, this looks cute; I've been being to put something into place like this myself: AutoDNS accepts GPG signed emails instructing it to setup secondary DNS for domains and adds appropriate entries to the BIND configuration file in order to make this happen. Homepage: http://www.earth.li/projectpurple/progs/autodns.html (989 hits) or, you could use ssh like everyone says. Or rsync. Or, run BIND in a chroot environment, and FTP stuff around. Did I mention tftp? Pay a high school kid to type stuff in; they need work.
