Piece 'o cake. For BIND 8.1 that is. BIND 4.9 will start up in about
twice the time, but then every 15 minutes it will appear to freeze solid
while it stat()'s all those files. BIND 8.1 does it all incrementally.
BIND 8.2 will have a clustered memory allocator which will make it start
up in about 1/5th the time it takes now. But this is some months from now.
