As I wrote a bit further down in my previous reply:

I'm afraid this is a bit off-topic here, as it deals with serving data
and not with looking it up, and unbound is definitely aimed at looking
up. 

Several database- or script-driven backends have been developed for
various authoritative name servers, and while I've never tried myself,
I'm certain you'll find one that does what you want.
