The short answer is you can’t today because there is no provider/“driver” in external-dns that knows how to manipulate bind. If you’re a developer or have someone who wants to work on it you would first need some sort of API on the bind server(s) to allow you create, list, update, and delete records. For example I know nothing about it, but [https://github.com/ajclark/bind-restapi](https://github.com/ajclark/bind-restapi) looks like it might work. Then you would add a provider in [https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/tree/master/providers](https://github.com/rancher/external-dns/tree/master/providers) that implements the required methods.
