Hello.

I know there are WEB GUIs for bind, which uses a DB to store its information and need read/write access to bind's config files and zones files. Is there a GUI utility which will user zone transfers with keys and dynamic updates?

In windows I created a simple batch file to update or delete records in zones via dynamic update and `nsupdate` utility. But a GUI will be much easier to use
I don't know of any open source versions of this, but having written a proprietary, company-owned subsystem like that, I'm wondering why you think it needs to use zone transfers. Any consistency/sanity/referential-integrity checks can be implemented using ordinary queries; zone transfers are rather inefficient for the task.

Also, it shouldn't be a hard requirement to wrap around the "nsupdate" utility. If the system is written in Perl, for instance, Dynamic Updates (signed or unsigned) can be done via the Net::DNS module. Supposedly dnspython (which I haven't used) also supports Dynamic Updates and TSIG-authentication.

If you want the subsystem to deal with zone creation/deletion, then you either need to allow write access to the config files, or potentially you could use the addzone/delzone rndc commands in modern versions of BIND (which I have *not* used at all).
