Actually, no.  I've worked with and written modules for providing a web 
interface to clients DNS zone files, but as they were customized to our 
needs, not portable or available.

With that, also, I've seen lots of different ways that DNS zone files 
are setup in various secured ways for client editing via a web 
interface, but I can't say I've been completely pleased with any given 
implementation yet, though I have ideas for how I'd do it... (security 
level:paranoid <g>)

With that, I'd really suggest just whipping out your scripting language 
of choice, bash does nicely, sed and awk make quick work of parsing the 
files, and python is really excellent for text processing as well...
Then bust out some html frontend, and your in business.

Vaugely heard of them due their 'Linux FreeVPS' system (User Mode Linux 
packaged frontend)- but looks like they could have such a product for 
DNS somewhere?
