---- Changes since 1.130 ----
A new Module Config option is available to define extra DNS record types for the module to support in a generic way. This allows user who want to create obscure types like NAPTR, KEY and so on to do so.
---- Changes since 1.140 ----
Added an ACL option to limit allowed record types.
Views are now added to the file specified in the Module Config, rather than to named.conf.

When a list view is used for zones, several can now be selected at once and deleted using a single button.
---- Changes since 1.210 ----
Added a new page for setting up RNDC on BIND version 9, so that individual zones can be reloaded.

When adding a remote slave zone, the IPs of all other slaves and the master are included in the master IPs list.
---- Changes since 1.390 ----
BIND on Windows can now be configured using this module.
Mass record creation can now add records for the domain name (by entering @ as the name), as records that already exist.
---- Changes since 1.400 ----
Keys in ACL sections are no long mangled by Webmin. This means that each IP or key must be entered on a separate line in the Access Control Lists page.
---- Changes since 1.410 ----
Corrected parsing of records in zone files with no names, which inherit from the previous record.
Spaces are now allowed in Host Information records.
---- Changes since 1.420 ----
The default TTL for multiple zones can now be changed on the Update Records in Zones page.
When adding a cluster slave server, multiple views can be entered to have slave zones created in all of them.
Record names or values entered like ns.foo.com in the domain foo.com automatically have a . added to make them absolute as the user presumably expected, rather than being coverted to ns.foo.com.foo.com.
Update serial number (by default) when editing records manually.
Try downloading root zone files from the IP for rs.internic.net if the hostname cannot be resolved, to avoid catch-22 problem.
Access control lists are now automatically re-ordered to handle dependencies.

Made the Find Free IPs page visible, for finding addresses in a master zone that are not currently used.
Added a field to limit concurrent outgoing zone transfers and incoming transfers per nameserver to the Forwarding and Transfers page.
Ignore tailing dots in zone names in named.conf.

Moved the apply, stop and start buttons to the top-right corner of every page, so that you don't have to return all the way to the module's main page to apply configuration changes.
Zones can now be signed with DNSSEC, using one or two keys. This can be done automatically at master zone creation time, or later for existing zones. Signatures can also be removed or re-generated at any time. Zones with a key-signing and zone key can have their zone key automatically regenated on a regular interval.
Added the DNSSEC Verification page for configuring BIND to validate signatures on other zones, and to use DLV until the root zone is signed.
SPF records can now be added to or updated in multiple zones at once.

Redirect and explanation modifiers can be viewed and edited in SPF records.
Added a Module Config option for additional master IP addresses for remote slave zones.
If nscd is running when BIND is restarted or a zone is applied, it will be signalled to re-read DNS caches too.

---- Changes since 1.660 ----
Added a warning if the chroot directory that Webmin thinks BIND is using looks wrong.
Slave zone files in raw format can now be displayed by Webmin.
