Speaking personally, when I've used DLZ for serious business I've always
used a web front end written "in house" (not usually by me, either,
although I have provided some basic CGI scripts over the years) which
fits with other in-house systems. Think bulk domain registrations.

What do you mean?

It would be more accurate to ask: do views understand bind-dlz? For
which the answer is "yes". Zones defined in a view are logically
separate from zones defined in other views, and that goes for DLZ. If
you tweak your query used for a given DLZ zone, you can select from
multiple database tables, use different SQL users, and so on.
