#304 Del A Record, other Record Types Stay
When you delete an A record in Webmin (v0.92), it does not delete any
of the associated other records, of any type. Eg.
joe IN A
1.1.1.2
steve IN CNAME joe
bob IN A 1.1.1.1
IN TXT Test\
Example
IN HINFO "Big Box" "New OS"
If you delete the A
record for 'bob', the records below become orphaned. These records
will now be 'owned' by the previous record - and depending on what kind
of record that is, BIND may fail to load the zone with syntax
errors.
I would have to think that if an A record is removed, all
other records for that host should also be removed.

I see what you mean, and this could be added fairly easily.
However, it could do the wrong thing sometimes and delete
records that were not related to the one being deleted - for
example, if you had an A record followed by an MX record
with the same name.
