I don't know of any freely available plug and play solution to this but the most commonly referred to way is having some kind of alias table with the gmysql backend and using stored procedures that take the aliases into account for each query. Let me point you to [1] the gmysql backend documentation which lists all SQL queries it will do in the default installation. These queries are all customizable and you can for example exchange them with calls for stored procedures as long as those don't change the sequence or types of return values. For my personal server i used the following launch line: launch=gmysql:priv this means that i can override basic-query by specifying: gmysql-priv-basic-query=select content,ttl,prio,type,domain_id,name from dns_record where type='%s' and name='%s' I am not aware of any DNS Management Software that can cope with this kind of alias domain, however as there are many that can deal with PowerDNS's gmysql backend in default configuration it might still be easy to integrate.
