'gedit'? The thing is, if you're editing DNS records, you either know what you 
are doing, or you're going to break things (trust me on this :). So it seems 
reasonable that the barrier to entry should be a little higher.

Also, I'd like to think that many of the people who have the ability (as in, 
own the address space) to enter reverse-lookup entries probably don't do much 
of it by hand anyway, and have a database somewhere that produces the bind 
files, or something like that.

Remember that a person running a DNS server that points to a couple of hosts 
can't do the reverse DNS of those hosts, so in most peoples cases, that part 
of it isn't much good anyway.
