Whiteboard
https:/
-Every create/delete domain goes off and fetches the entire list of domains, and rebuilds the main config file from scratch
-A similar thing happens when records are changed, the entire zone is fetched and the the whole whole zone file is re-written.
-Simple things like writing a comment on line 1 of zonefiles with the current serial number could prevent the startup stuff from needing to fetch that zone's records, since it can just check the serial matches by reading line 1 of the zone
-We've always had in the back of our heads that we want a second bind9 backend (or a config option for the current one) that put's it into "slave" mode .. So, no local zonefiles, just the list of domains to AXFR from a master.
