I realise all the l33t people with their own boxen don't have this problem,
but I'm constantly annoyed by not having instant flexible control of my own
DNS.

Could we create domains for every user and then put the zone files in each
person's home dir, with a SUID script to kick named?

Then I could have *.jon.penderel.state51.co.uk and be able to quickly create
names and mx records for things when I need to, which is surprisingly often.
Everyone would get $USERNAME.penderel.state51.co.uk

I'm happy to set this up if anyone is interested (although, frankly, you'd
be mad to let me anywhere near a root password and a copy of bind)
