PS: For anyone who didn't read my previous message, I am NOT saying
that it's fine to overload everything into TXT. I am saying that new
RRTYPEs that are text blobs interpreted by client software wouldn't
necessarily be bad.
Agreed. That doesn't preclude syntax checking on loading the zone,
though.
As a Windows shop, there is no hiding of the long product development
battles between the *nix weenies world and the WinDoze world. At a
general level, the WinDoze world is not one that is use to and relies
on text based "editors" configuration, they need the GUI. I even
recourse getting a private message suggesting my customers must be
"stupid."
Nonetheless, to reach critical mass, it is important the GUI is
developed for this stuff. I can't rely on customers becoming text
editor people if that is the only way to make this work. They only
way I could even begin to offer DKIM, ADSP and even now ATPS is to
provide a GUI, like this public version we have here for ADSP and ATPS
http://www.winserver.com/public/wcadsp
Just consider that ATPS has SHA1, BASE32 functions to produce the
records. That adds complexity for any DNS server manager (Windows or
Bind) to consider. Its just not a plug and play consideration. Its
probably easier for the ISP Web-based managers since its more of an
add-on to there current DNS software, using command line tools to act
on GUI posted information.
