Not that this makes it wrong, but this is the most complex procedure I've ever
seen specified for how to use a MIB.  It is possible that's because there are
few to no such procedures specified.

Assuming the existence of agents with the zone-change MIB, and routers with
the necessary abilities, the procedure cries for a special-purpose
application.  Who do you expect will supply such an application?  I'd hate to
have to try to do this by reading the procedure, which should be included with
the MIB, and using a MIB browser.
