I see 2 ways.

1. provide a test bind server on one public host so that buildfarm
machines can update fields through some sort of authentication, and do
queries at will.

2. ask buildfarmers to install a binary of bind or provide a copy in the
buildfarm ourselves and run it using our own provisioned data locally. 

both solutions may need us to use chroot to have our own resolv.conf
file pointing to localhost, but I think it may be doable.

Simo.
