Been there, done that.  With BIND it's easy - make your DNS server
authoritative for the domains in question.  This can be daunting with DJBDNS
though - I don't really have a good answer for that one...

Assuming your affected machines are all *nix, you could run rsync between
them and a master to automatically upate /etc/hosts.
