That's exactly what I DO do...

If I have a lot of broadranging changes to make (ie for a renumber, or
bulk ip change, or even just a dns restore onto a fresh box) then I do
exactly that,

Drop in /etc/named/records,  modify the bits I need to

Rm pri.*

Then click save in DNS parameters, within 1 second every single dns
record is recreated.... And I have about 500 domains served of some
boxes...

Its one of the main reasons I DO use the cobalt for dns...

Maybe you just had a bad experience with it..
