Hm, no database yet?

I do this data base assisted. For example, a very crude perl hack
writes my zone file out of a mySQL data base (it can even figure out
glue records :-)-O).

This is a practical issue that we should discuss here. I have proposed 
repeatedly in the past, that emerging registries should be assisted,
by way of hardware, software and/or knowhow.

What about designing a generic DNS registry application, with email
application parser, web front end, mysql back end, some tools in
tcl/tk (using sqlscreens) to administer this, copylefted of course?


I'd be much more interested in that then watching the Kent-Meter.
