I don't disagree with this. There's certainly a mode where BIND should
be able to create its own b-tree by loading all of a zone and then
managing it through a memory window. But there's also a more sparse mode
where you just don't want to have another copy of your zone data, nor
the resource consumption of having to make that copy, nor the delay
between the times you pick to make that copy.
Right now there's no choice since there's no zone API. One is coming, but
not in 8.1.2++.
