1. check out an old tool I wrote: http://hostupd.sf.net . It uses perl's

Oh, I once wrote a "hostname for dynamic IP" web service with
Net::DNS::Update so its no stranger to me. My recent work (the ping &
failover script -- changes the A records across a lot of domains)
works by piping to 'nsupdate', though.
2. You can, ofcourse, edit the files manually when daemon is down.
I think that with a recent-enough version of BIND, you should be able
to 'rndc freeze' a zone and then edit it by hand (and then 'rndc
thaw'). Of course, dynamic DNS is a much saner way to update zones,
automatically increasing the SOA etc.
I indeed wonder how come nsupdate is so unfriendly but I never heard of
any tool yet.
At the very least, it could use integration with readline, but ideally
there should be a graphical tool which'll fetch the zone through AXFR,
represent it graphically and feed updates back thru IXFR ("dynamic
DNS").
