Re: OSS Control Panel to manage FreeBSD jails ... ?

While this admittedly doesn't help your issue much, I wrote one also a while
back and use MyDNS to manage PTRs and such. I had a MyDNS master, whose DB
was updated by the webfront end, and 4 BIND slaves who yoinked zones off the
master (I didn't trust MyDNS to be public).

<http://mydns.bboy.net/>For what it's worth, I couldn't find a handy
solution either (hence writing things).

Cheers,
