For the umpteenth time, the issue isn't managing a DNS zone.  That's the easy 
part.  The hard part is knowing what to put in it.  Many companies, not even 
the really big ones, have thousands of domains.  Go publish SPF, DKIM key, and 
DMARC records for 4,000 domains and then tell me it's all easy to then figure 
out what the right list of authorized forwarders should be for each one.

P.S.  I'm done on the topic of is keeping a list of forwarders a useful 
solution for the group to work on.  No matter how you wrap it up, it's not.
