Yes, I was thinking how can we integrate this new API to WebUI. AFAIK you use dnsrecord-add $ZONE $REC --a-rec=... --mx-rec=... for adding a new DNS record and dnsrecord-mod $ZONE $REC --mx-rec=... when for example the mx record is being modified. All MX values (even the unmodified ones) are passed to dnsrecord-mod. 1) I was wondering how the new dnsrecord-<rrtype>-add commands can be used. I suppose WebUI will know a list of DNS record types with these new structured commands and offer the user new window to add a record for these types instead of typing them directly to the text box as it is now. 2) But my main concern here is how the modification of current DNS records should work. Say, we have 2 MX records for example.com. How can we modify one of it in a new structured interface? We would have to implement dnsrecord-mx-show method so that you can fill all the text areas (preference, mailserver). Question is how to refer the value we want to show since DNS records are multivalued. We could pass --dnsrecord="..." with DNS record value, e.g. "0 mx.example.com." and then use the same value for dnsrecord-mx-mod. The whole command sequence would look this way: dnsrecord-find example.com -- get all DNS records for example.com dnsrecord-show example.com @ -- show DNS records directly in the zone NS: "ns.example.com" MX: "0 mx1.example.com." MX: "1 mx2.example.com." << user wants to modify this one -> new window dnsrecord-mx-show example.com --dnsrecord="1 mx1.example.com." PREFERENCE: 1 << user modifies this to 0 MAILSERVER: mx2.example.com. dnsrecord-mx-mod example.com --dnsrecord="1 mx1.example.com." --preference=0 What do you think about this API for record modification?
