I don't know about recursive queries, but I believe that the Active 
Directory DNS keeps its data in the AD LDAP.  Perhaps you could dump 
that to an ldif file, fix things, then load it up again.  Also, the 
O'Reilly book on Windows 2000 Active Directory contains a nuber of 
examples of VBASIC routines to manipulate AD, though none dealing 
directly with DNS; I'm aware that there are perl and python libraries to 
do the same, but I can't point you to much example code (there's a 
little in "Perl for System Administration" chapter 6, but no DNS).
