BIND DLZ[1] does essentially that, except that it also allows you to
have the zone configuration in the database... It supports a large
number of databases, including MySQL. It's a patch set against BIND 9.

If you want performance (IE large number of lookups) you might need to
use either use Berkely DB with it, or use normal BIND instead.

It's listed as Development Status: 5 - Production/Stable, and there
seems to be some development and forum activity, which is a good sign.
