There's two parts to this process -- one is keeping the code itself 
up-to-date, assuming that it has passed whatever verification process you 
have internally before you roll it out to your production servers.

The other part is keeping up-to-date the information being served by BIND, 
and I would be inclined to handle that separately.

Both can be fairly easily automated with the right cookbooks, and I believe 
there are multiple examples available to you on the community site.
