What people would likely want is something that presents a
single screen form where you enter the name, mac address, ip
and optional aliases, and it writes the dns forward zone A
record and optional CNAMEs, the dns reverse zone PTR record,
and the dhcp fixed-address entry, and restarts the appropriate
daemons to activate the entries.  With reasonable syntax and
duplicate checking, of course...
