regarding the validator, it's a simple one which attempts to resolve a FQDN which I'm using to insert as a record. the FQDN needs to resolve before being added to the DB. if you think it's a worthwhile validator, I can submit it in for inclusion. i'll move it over into model/validators.py so long... cheers!
