Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think Jon was asking

the erb template (i.e. ruby syntax check) but syntax check the named

Precisely. Maybe later I'll face the issue of ruby syntax
problems but right now I need to detect named syntax errors
before they cause problems.
So the tricky bit is how to get the variables out of the puppet
manifests that the erb template needs to generate the output file
that 'would' be generated by a new puppet run for this node --
without the actual puppet run (as he asks at the end of the email).
Precisely again.
My first thought is that the only accurate way to do this is by doing
a full puppet run, as any part of the node's manifest could effect
the variables used in the zone file template. You should be able to
get away with a --noop run so the changes won't actually be applied
(because noop does generate files from templates, but you would need
to have a way to capture the newly generated zone file on the client
host and run the named-checkzone there.
That's what I figured. I was hoping that there would be an easier way
that could somehow do a facter run but only run the minimal amount
of puppet.
named-checkzone(8) should be suitable tool for your needs.
Best,
