First, difficulty is open to discussion. It's rather simple to configure "views" within BIND. It becomes a management hassle on the scale being proposed, but it's still very much doable.
user_Jamesday pointed out another solution using the Supersparrow libraries, which I initially poo-pood as potential vaporware but upon further investigation find to be rather interesting.
They have a patch for BIND9 that allows some BGP-type magic to happen as a replacement for views, which should improve the capabilities of such a system tremendously.
I got it mostly installed (their patch for BIND9 was broken, but mostly easily fixed, although I'm still having a few problems I probably won't have the time to sort out until after this weekend... going to a wedding).
They also have an implementation that uses the Dents nameserver, but I'm not familiar with that so I don't know if that's useful at all.
