It looks like that will be tough to maintain in a large scale.  Quite 
complicated. Of course Bind db files are complicated too.  However, more people 
might be familiar with Bind db files than the Cfengine data structure you've 
laid out.

You might consider keeping the Bind files in version control.  Have Cfegine use 
them as master files to manage your DNS servers.  Combine this with maintaining 
resolv.conf on the clients and you can now reasonably trust DNS.  Commit a 
change to Bind in version control and Cfengine will distribute it.

For Cfengine access rules I normally just keep a list of networks or IP 
addresses.  Sometimes there is a bit of logic to have different rules for 
different environments.  However, this is usually separate from DNS.
