Not really, but, supposedly, modern versions of BIND understand
GSS-TSIG, so you could, in theory, have the clients (or their DHCP
servers) perform their dynamic updates to BIND, and that's what would
host the "one and complete zone", which you could slave/stub as you wish
to other DNS instances in your environment (e.g. Windows boxes), or have
them resolve them iteratively if you have enough of a delegation chain
to support that (e.g. an internal root zone). You'll have to kick the
manual-editing habit, however, since it's too risky and/or disruptive to
manually edit a dynamic-update-enabled zone. Use nsupdate instead.
You didn't mention Active Directory, but if that's what you're faced
with, you could delegate the "underscore" zones to deal with that (see
