Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/168

i just removed a ton of wrong domain entries - some people seem to be confused where they need to enter their dynamic hosts...

maybe it would be good to check whether at the given address a dns is running and answering queries for the respective zone before saving a new domain record.

hmm, otoh, we currently give the configuration help for this dns AFTER creating the record...

fixed in rel0.10 branch by c432e24c0d - we just check via a script command every night whether the domain nameservers really answer queries for that domain.

fixed in master now also.

reopen, new idea:

do the dns availability check when zone is switched to "public" or "available" on the web ui.
