DnsZone is a webbased multiuser interface for managing dns zones in
Bind running under Apache/mod_perl.
                                                                                              
Specifics:                                                                                    
                                                                                              
DnsZone allows users to change their own zones without actually having
access to the nameserver on which their zone is located. It is a
multiuser application where each user will have his/her own login and
password. From the interface you can add, update and delete individual
records for the domain you are managing. Records are instantly updated
in the nameserver and changes will be visible instantly.
Currently DnsZone supports MySQL|Oracle|Postgresql as the backend
database. Oracle and Postgresql support is still experimental and is
likely a bit broken.
Types of dns records currently supported: SOA, A, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT.
The user interface supports multiple languages and currently comes with
English, Danish, German, Swedish, Italian and French language files.
The user interface can be tailored to fit your needs by the use of
templates (using CGI::FastTemplate).

How:

It uses the features of RFC2136 (Dynamic Updates) to maintain the zones
in a nameserver running BIND. This means that it does not need to have
anything running on the actual nameserver other than BIND itself.
