sounds good @Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl> , several questions come to mind (most of them in the realm of 'details': credentials; can these be operator property or must these be user property (bring your own)? (or can we configure both setups) ttl; is there a maximum configurable as well? record types; do we make this an allow-list or a set of feature switches? and kicking in an open door, is there a minimum set of record types a driver must support (a, cname, mx, ...).
great idea!!
