Hi,
1. check out an old tool I wrote: http://hostupd.sf.net . It uses perl's
Net::DNS so you can easily improve it/rewrite :)
2. You can, ofcourse, edit the files manually when daemon is down.
I indeed wonder how come nsupdate is so unfriendly but I never heard of
any tool yet.

Hola,
I have a couple of DNS servers, in various master-slave relations,
supporting dynamic DNS updates with DNS SEC -- the whole shebang --
powered by BIND servers. Recently when I enabled dynamic DNS updates
for a whole lot of zones (to facilitate a failover mechanism), I found
out I can no longer edit the zone files directly (change zone file ->
rndc reload zone) and must instead do all my changes through Dynamic
DNS (e.g. with 'nsupdate').
Does anyone either:
1. Know of a DNS management tool which uses dynamic DNS updates (IXFR)
to manage zones remotely? 'nsupdate' is hard to use, lacking even the
basic convenience of autocompletion.
2. Know of a different DNS server which works with an LDAP backend and
has a UI tool which can manage it?
3. Has any other suggestion which offers decent UI?
Ideally, it'll be something as good as Microsoft's management console
for their DNS server -- exposing the records graphically and offering
secure remote management.
P.S. Anyway, editing zone files manually was getting error-prone. Most
of the times, editing such structured data with a text editor is a
recipe for syntax errors.
