Eek.  Why?  You can already trivially do what you want (maintain your info in
a database of whatever type, modifying it on the go) by simply writing a
trivial script to dump its contents in the tinydns data file format.  Then you
just do:

(1) do whatever DB record changes you want
(2) dump-db >data.new && mv data.new data && make

... all without introducing this new point of failure and new (complex,
possibly security-failure-prone) code into tinydns.
