Hi Peter.  Caldera Systems (www.calderasystems.com) has a new Linux
network admin/management package called Volution that handles DNS etc. and
it supports most all other Linux distributions (Is there going to be a
Blackhat Linux in the next year?)

More info on Volution is available at:

http://www.calderasystems.com/products/volution/

Volution won Best Network Server Application Award at LinuxWorld, New
York recently; more on that at:

Don't know if this is what you had in mind, but bombs away dream babies.
