I think, you only need a very minimal named.conf, which may be generated
via a small shell-script:


        echo 'options {
                directory "/path/to/zonefile-directory";
        };' > named.conf
        while read domain; do
                echo "zone \"${domain}\" {
                        type master;
                        file \"${domain}\";
                };" >> named.conf
        done < domainlist


Maybe, this small script will do the job, if the name of the zonefile is 
identical to the domainname, for which the zonefile is for (path has to
be adjusted and the domains should be listet in the file "domainlist").
Please do *not* overwrite an existing named.conf, if you have one, because
in real "named.conf", ther maybe lots of more entries (about rights to
access Zones or initiate zone-transfers, about logging, etc.).
 
Tschuess,
