I absolutely agree with Carlos here this has got to be a joke or likelihood of 
NETSOL being extremely lazy on their part possibly lack of demand? There is 
absolutely no valid reason an update like this shouldn't be trivial to 
implement unless their system was built by IBM contractors :-)

The core functionality of any IP/DNS management system is the flexibility and 
robustness to quickly add and remove address records. No matter how bad the 
system was designed or implemented not being able to support new record types 
is a complete FAIL on all counts especially from a veteran registrar like 
NETSOL.

Like others have stated stick it where it hurts the most and use another vendor.
