I think it is confusing to have a DNS "Settings" and an "Unmanaged Service" panel. The only difference between the 2 is the "unmanaged" tick. I would place the tick box at the bottom of the first screen with a clearer description, something like:
"It is advised to let the UC system manage and run it's own DNS for your UC devices. In this case leave the box unchecked. If you however know what you are doing you can manage the DNS records needed for your UC system and devices in your own DNS. In this case check the box and make sure your DNS is set up correctly by running the DNS advisor." I am for example running DNS out of SipX without any trouble, I would prefer to "tick" the box.
