Not to mention that delegation of smaller than class C blocks (RFC 2317) doesn't seem well known. My ISP had no clue what I was talking about until I referred him to the specific RFC, and even then didn't want to deal with it. My ISP claims they will eventually provide a web interface to allow customers to update their own reverse DNS. They're using BIND on a Unix platform, so this won't help me in that situation, but it would be interesting to allow updates to QDNS with password access on a domain-by-domain basis, and on an address range basis for reverse DNS. I don't necessarily want QDNS burdened by a web server, but has anyone tried this via plugin or other CGI? Is QDNS or QDNS admin scriptable enough to allow this?
