OK, when I resig on managing DNS and I will use !bind and dhcpd support dynamic dns! I stil need an tool for managing DHCP entries.

vi?

To elaborate a little:

you can edit the file /etc/dhcpd.conf

and have entries like this:

   host johnny1 {
     option host-name "johnny1.home.local";
     hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:62:6d:2c;
     fixed-address 192.168.0.16;
   }

What else do you need to manage via a tool?

What people would likely want is something that presents a single screen form where you enter the name, mac address, ip and optional aliases, and it writes the dns forward zone A record and optional CNAMEs, the dns reverse zone PTR record, and the dhcp fixed-address entry, and restarts the appropriate daemons to activate the entries. With reasonable syntax and duplicate checking, of course...
