You're unlikely to find anything canned to do somehting like that. If you run BIND on Windows, your configuration files will be simple text files, so modifying them with CFFILE is very simple. Go to www.isc.org to download BIND 8.2.5 or BIND 9 binaries for NT. To do what you need, you'll just modify the BIND configuration file, then create or modify a zone master file. Afterwards, you run a command-line EXE that reloads the DNS data. This command-line tool is included in the BIND for NT distributions.
If you need a simple manual web interface, it's pretty simple to create one in CF that lets you browse and edit these same files. You need to understand the format and syntax of the underlying files, however.
