bind8 module design questions

[Kenneth P. <sh...@we...>]

I started to look at the bind8 module with the intention of adding
dynamic update support and had a couple of questions about some things
I saw in the code.

The server reload is accomplished by SIGHUP'ing the running daemon. Why
not use ndc to communicate with the daemon?

The record editor appears to provide editing and deleting capability on
a zone I've marked as not-editable. It looks like access control isn't
applied until one attempts to commit a change by clicking "save". I
haven't tried using one of the edit controls (ie. click "save") to see
if I'd get locked out, but shouldn't the code that displays the set of
a given record type simply not show the editing capability if the user
is not allowed to make changes?
