MyDNS - mysql based dns server.
MyDNS - Next Generation DNS Server - looks like a new fork of MyDNS with more features...
MyDNS: Home - serve records directly from an SQL database
MyDNS is pretty neat in that you can use the mydnsimport to import zones from existing DNS servers with AXFR transfers. 'mydnsimport -axfr=bindserver.sample.net sample.net' (may have to perform permissions updates as described below)

Testing your mydns server
Make sure you have "allow-axfr = yes" and "listen = 127.0.0.1" or "listen = *" in /etc/mydns.conf.
dig @localhost -t axfr

Permissions with MyDnsConfig
When I first installed MyDnsConfig, I got the following error:
Error: You don't have the permission to view this record or this record does not exist!
With a little work, I found a place to debug the queries...and this was the offending SQL.
SELECT * FROM soa WHERE id = 1 AND ((sys_userid = 1 AND sys_perm_user like '%u%') OR (sys_groupid IN
(1,2) AND sys_perm_group like '%u%') OR sys_perm_other like '%u%')
So, looks like you need to make sure to set a default on the rr and soa table for sys_userid and sys_perm_user to match the sys_userid of admin. I used the mydnsimport tool to create records, and the defaults were 0 and empty string. Not good, not associated to any user!
--set the defaults to 1, and u for user based auth.
ALTER TABLE `soa` CHANGE `sys_userid` `sys_userid` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
ALTER TABLE `soa` CHANGE `sys_perm_user` `sys_perm_user` VARCHAR( 5 )
CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'riud';
ALTER TABLE `rr` CHANGE `sys_userid` `sys_userid` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
ALTER TABLE `rr` CHANGE `sys_perm_user` `sys_perm_user` VARCHAR( 5 )
CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'riud';
--update the existing records
UPDATE soa SET `sys_userid`='1', `sys_groupid`='1', `sys_perm_user`='riud', `sys_perm_group`='riud';
UPDATE rr SET `sys_userid`='1', `sys_groupid`='1', `sys_perm_user`='riud', `sys_perm_group`='riud';
