Using windows 2000 server, How can I do to create DNS zones in masive form?
I mean, if I have many domins to create, How can I do to create all them in one step instead of creating them one by one?

It depends on the type of zone that you wish to create (Active Directory-integrated, primary or secondary). If you choose to use standard primary zones, the zone information is stored in a normal text file, and you can use something like a perl script to create the zone files. You can find the format of DNS zone files on TechNet (a good starting point is Q172953).

The zones that I need to create are primary and secondary. And I know that I can create a text file with the zone records but how can I do for the DNS Admin Applet read all this .DNS files created by me and put in the DNS Data base?

If these are existing zones, you may be able to set up the W2K DNS as a secondary for each zone, let it download the files for each zone's primary, then change the W2K DNS to a primary for each zone.
