Well, if some of the EMACS partisans are to be believed, there's no 
doubt some 2-line macro that enables EMACS to function as a full 
authoritative nameserver and/or recursive resolver, along with full 
Dynamic Update and DNSSEC support, so it would be pretty easy to use it 
for managing your DNS once that macro is activated :-)
