Re: [webmin-devel] djbdns/tinydns suppport for virtualmin?

I just about have the module written. One last question (I hope). In tinydns A records are define this way: +name:IP:optionally TTL That'll define the A record. If you change the + to =, then a match PTR reocrd in generated too. What I'm thinking about doing is a looking up IP, if doesn't around have PTR record, I'll set the record to create both the A and PTR records. So an IP verse will match the first record defined using it. Sound reasonable? I'm also buffed this module up over the powerdns module a bit. It looks at other flags to figure out if the mx record is needed for instance.
