I haven't had any customer interest along these lines, but it wouldn't 
be very difficult.  I'd certainly welcome contributions in this area.  
You could write a real-time export like the other SQL exports, not batch 
like the BIND one.  A module would need to be added in 
FS/FS/part_export/ (an example may be found in eg/export_template.pm).

Hmm, no, all the BIND exports I've setup call "ndc reload" or "rndc 
reload" to tell the server to reload the database.  No separate export 
or cron job is necessary.
