You may automate the adding of new zones, when you declare the master
as "supermaster" (look at the documentation). I think the deletion of
zones or the change of the primary Nameserver must still be done manu-
ally, but i think the use of "supermasters" can still be helpful.

I didn't tried that, but i think, that is maybe a partial solution of
the problem ...
