@Dinesh - How many dns entries are you talking about?

IIRC, a while back one of the members in this list got his dns tables 
horribly mangled by webmin.  Maybe newer versions of webmin has fixed 
the bug.

IMO, you should first read the basics of DNS before you start messing 
with it.  About ten years ago, a windows admin asked me for help in 
setting by DNS on a windows server.  He had no clue about the SOA, MX, 
NS, A, PTR records etc. but because he had access to a GUI application 
he thought he could set up DNS!

Like Kapil says, if you know what the heck you are doing then vi/emacs 
is your friend :)  There are plenty of examples floating around 
the 'Net that you can copy shamelessly and modify to suit your needs.  
A good place to start are the localhost.zone and 0.0.127.zone files 
that come bundled with bind package.
