What open source DNS servers have an API? (I saw someone elsewhere in the thread talking about doing this with dnsmasq, but it sounded like they'd cobbled something together, rather than the software handling it.)

I personally wouldn't use dnsmasq for this (as its far more suited as a recursive server and DHCP provider with some basic authoritative records, rather than an authoritative-only server), but every open source authoritative DNS server worth using about has RFC 2136 support.

PowerDNS has an API which is working pretty well, I've been using it to generate ACME certificates since a few years and I also built a DNS hosting service around it.
