Don't *know*, but I *think* it should be the same format as named.conf 
since the file is "included" when reading named.conf.

There are some articles on doing this kind of thing, but...

...hostnames using underscores are illegal on the Internet, I believe. Try 
Linux Journal or Linux Magazine; somewhere I read an article on integrating 
bind-8 with a Windows network and they dealt with this. However, it's a 
PITA since MS deliberately uses illegal names to run their internal stuff.

Good luck, but my overall feeling is that it might not work.
