It looks like there is no GUI way.

Red Hat can hardly "recommend" it, meaning there is a choice, when there
is absolutely no other alternative.

you can easily set it up to not only maintain your forward zones but it
will update the reverse zones at the same time.

I don't get this. Both system-config-network and system-config-bind are in Fedora 15. I can sort of get why they would deprecate system-config-network in favor of NetworkManager (barely), but how are we to manage the DNS server? It is NOT trivial to create and manage DNS records with a text editor. For me Webmin is a little too bloated to install, just to manage bind. Is it time to for me (or the community) to create these useful tools?
