I typically use CVS or SCCS (depending on the box) to maintain DNS. I use a makefile to update the serial number YYMMDDXX so up to 100 changes a day are OK. The makefile also restarts the daemons. It's a pretty trivial method of doing things. Generally, I use a tree based on address inverse map hierarchy and logical subnetting (one SOA per subnet/logical subnet per tree level. Maybe we need a net administration utility that knows about setting up the various legal net/subnet configurations and maintaining the DNS correctly... I'm not volunteering for this one, though.
