Well, the problem with that would be that we are editing about 4000
zone files(that includes forwards and reverses) so an entry for each
zone wouldnt do, that it why i was hoping to make it effective on a
whole folder, not just one file or two. I was considering a folder
permissions solution, that seems like it would work well i think, then
i could use sudo to resrict to only rndc and let them have group write
access on the zones folder, i think that would be better then
sudoedit.

Restricting a group of users to run only "rndc reload" and "rndc
reconfig" via sudo is trivial. sudoers(1) will explain how, and
the sudoers file that comes with sudo is chock full of examples.
Off the top of my head, you would do something like this:
User_Alias DNSOPS = user1, user2, user3
Cmnd_Alias DNSRELOAD = /usr/sbin/rndc reload
Cmnd_Alias DNSRECONF = /usr/sbin/rndc reconfig
DNSOPS ALL = DNSRELOAD, DNSRECONF
Don't know if that parses properly, but you get the idea.
As far as editing only zone files, if you know the names of the files
that they need to edit, something like this is sufficient:
DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /etc/named.conf
DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /etc/rndc.conf
DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /var/named/zone1
DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /var/named/zone2
However, if your users need to be able to create/modify/rename files
under /var/named (as you mentioned in your OP), then you will need a
properly written wrapper script.
