No, I think you're right.

As it stands, when you use bind-dlz for a whole bunch of zones, you
cannot set per-zone options for specific zones since the DLZ part is
treated like a single zone per "normal" configuration.

If you want to set specific options then you'll need to use views and
tailor the queries used within those zones. That way you could group
your zones together for setting options. However, I can see that could
be quite difficult since views give a zone match in order of definition,
and I would expect a DLZ zone would match all possible queries sent to
it (by definition) by a given view, even if it returned a null result.

I think you'd have to check that one out.
