	If you want to subscribe to bind-workers, you need to find the 
right location on the website at isc.org, nor the link you quote.

	In this case, why not use the SQL interface and something like 
BIND-DLZ?  Since the $GENERATE stuff is going to fill in the data 
into RAM and then serve it once generated, it seems to me that what 
you want to do is to avoid using anything like $GENERATE to begin 
with.  Better would be to use a different technology that moves that 
function outside of BIND, in much the same way that BIND-DLZ does.
