the number of zones will be several hundreds, and the reason i planned to use smbind is because i need them added by somebody who is not familiar with hand editing files.

any script recommendations?

I also use smbind and on the primary DNS server, you should be able to script an INSERT into the appropriate SQL tables with a standard zonefile configuration, or if you already have them in existing Bind zone files, there is an import script that I modified - please mail me offlist if you want me to email it to you.  I was planning to make a fork off of smbind as I've altered my copy slightly and the project had seemed to be dead when I downloaded it earlier this year, but I've not had time.  I also see there's been some activity on the bug tracker since then...

I'm not sure if smbind can be used for secondary domains as there is no option for this, but I'm sure it could be altered to do so.
