Currently we have hundreds of domains from hundreds of ISPs sending

In zone files, use $INCLUDE control statement(s) to pull in file(s) 
containing records common to all, or groups, of zones, eg, the SPF 
records.  Changing the contents of an INCLUDEd file changes 100s or 
1000s of zones.

Yes, but the SOA serial number for those 100s of zones would need to be 
incremented, too.

But I guess where a sed script would come in handy.

Frankly, if you're still editting the zonefiles by hand for hundreds of domains 
you're definetelly doing something wrong I think. I have like 10-20 domains, 
that's enough for me to handle it all automagically, I never edit zonefiles by 
hand but instead rely on a suite of home-made scripts + web interfaces for 
customers.
