This may or may not be the answer you're looking for (waves hand obi-wan style), but have a look at https://github.com/gitbls/ndmSo, this is not a solution. Can you recommend another easy to setup DNS server that will meet the requirements?
"Normal" usage of ndm is with both DHCP and DNS configured, but it can also be used with just a DNS server (although any hosts with addresses assigned by some "other" DHCP server will not show up in the DNS server.
The DNS server can be either bind9 (aka named) or dnsmasq. The DHCP server can either be isc-dhcp-server or dnsmasq. I have a TODO to add support for kea (ISC's new DHCP server that will replace isc-dhcp-server...someday), but haven't started that yet.
If you're still reading, ndm maintains the host database in a JSON file, and when you make an update to the database (via well-documented command line), you can then have ndm rebuild the configuration files and stuff them into the correct places. FYI I built ndm after editing the freaking config files manually for far too long

If this is of interest at all, happy to answer any questions. If not, See my first sentence
