We have the same need, managing zones which handle more domains with 
same characteristics.

We made a little study, and there are two ways to go:

    * modify DB and powerdns code, in order to handle:
          o one or two more table for templates zones (cloning domains
            and records table structures)
          o two more field on domain table: one for indicating that
            records must be read from templates zone; the other with the
            name of template zone to be used
          o change additional features, like modifying the template must
            force change notifies for all domains linked to that zone.
    * We use poweradmin, which has templates zones, but they are quite
      too poor, so we asked to add in poweradmin:
          o link between template and domains
          o when a template change, make same changes to linked domains

Doing changes in poweradmin does not need any powerdns change.
But making such changes in powerdns would make all better.
