How would homemade zone files be illegal? If we made them, they're ours. Just because they work with Everquest doesn't mean we broke the law by stealing their copyrights. Make a few from scratch and see what they say.
On a negative note, they may have patented the format (why the hell would they, but people patent everything). If it's patented, it wouldn't be okay to distribute because we would violate the patent.
I think distributing zone files of a homebrew style would be completely legal, depending on patents filed.
