If you're taking votes, I'd like to see this, it'd be nice to have one centralized file for a dns config. It would be nice to keep SRV/TXT records right next to their matching A record, bind style. Having PTRs in the same file would put you one step above bind :) Maybe take it one step further, --host-record=<address>,<name>[,<alias>,<alias>,...] so we can keep the CNAMEs right there too. Rob
