	Possible: I'm doing it.
	Convenient?  Depends on what you consider "convenient"
	The machine in question only serves a few zones, and only
changes its IP occesionally.
	When it does, I have a script which will change the config file
for sshd, and another which changes most (but not all) settings for
bind.  Elapsed time (assuming I remember all the bits): 5 minutes,
plus a re-boot and checking the numbers.
