I've recently just started up my own hosting biz and currently offer hosting via cpanel/whm for both e-mail hosting and web hosting. The e-mail hosting is done via a cpanel skin that only allows access to mail.

What I've been lookin for is a script that allows DNS hosting. I would like to be able to make an account with some bandwidth and no hd space whatsoever and make a skin that only allows e-mail and dns access. I do my own domain registration via api on my site, and would like to offer dns hosting since its a pretty simple concept.

Does anyone know of a script where I can offer dns management to my users via cpane? I don't care if it costs money, this is something I really need.

Thanks,

Not sure if this is what you mean, but check out www.zoneedit.com

like that, only as a script to run on my site to allow users to edit their DNS records stored on my nameserver.

thanks again,

You can try to buy a"dns only" skin.
A good designer can easy make this to you.

Well you can edit MX records in cpanel so I dont see why u can't edit a full dns zone like in whm.

Exactly! I can make the skin easily... Its just a matter of getting the scripts to allow the full one editing setup... any suggestions?

you would need someone to make a script server wide to set the proper permissions to that site's dns zone file (/var/named/).

Then someone to create a php script to easily edit it. Then someone to integrate that php script into cpanel. I think thats everything.

is it mydns system?

Here is the code cPanel uses for editing an MX entry:
<cpanel Email="changemx($FORM{'domain'},$FORM{'mx'})">

Try looking at "DTDNS"
