Another Bonehead Question

Re: Another Bonehead Question

This falls back to the User Interface request for the Admin of Quick DNS
that I sent to suggest@menandmice.com a while ago. To have a "Domains"
palette with 2 tabs in it. The first is "Primary" and the second is
"Secondary." Then in the "Primary" tab would function like the current
one acts, but the "Secondary" tab would, when the zone of interest was
double-clicked, would load up a dialog with all of the pertinent
information about that secondary zone (i.e. Date of last transfer, IP
addresses of the zone primaries, Zone file name (which would be
automatically created)...). While the "Primary" tab would just load the
zone file for editing. Also right below the tabs would be the add and
delete buttons for adding or deleting either primary zones or secondary
configurations depending on which tab you were on. In the dialog that
has the details of the secondary zone put a purge button which would
delete the current zone on the server and do a restart of the server to
force it to transfer the zone again.

Hope this gives you a picture of what I would like,
Ben
