Right now I'm redoing my CSM map code to allow for zones to be included - if the camera is in a zone, only two types of static objects will be rendered
*objects specific to that zone
*objects not specific to any zone

This works fine. That means I can transition from one room to the next and automatically disable/enable collision detection while passing through each room. I could extend this concept further, but for now it's proof-of-concept.

But what about dynamic objects? Would that be the same as well? If an enemy is not in an active zone, just disable it and 'freeze' it until the player is in the zone again? Reset the enemy if it's midattack or something?

I guess I've never done anything like this before, with shutting down portions of the map during gameplay. I'd like to know what considerations I should make now to prevent headaches later.

You can use the set zone in combination with the point in zone to check if the dynamic object is in the zone. If it isn't you can exclude it from the render using exclude object on and exclude object off.

edit then only problem with this is that your zones need to be boxes.
