Hi,

Yes an no. There are no Cobalt supplied utilities to do this. For adding records you 
could use
the following script I use personally. It takes two arguments, the domainname and the 
last digit
of the IP address. Feel free to change it. You need to place it e.g. in /root and cd 
to /etc/named
before usage.

#!/bin/sh
echo mx - $1 High mail.$1 >> records
echo mx www $1 High mail.$1 >> records
echo a mail $1 213.196.30.$2 24 >> records
echo a - $1 213.196.30.$2 24 >> records
echo a www $1 213.196.30.$2 24 >> records
echo a localhost $1 127.0.0.1 >> records
echo soa - $1 
ns1.direct5.net:ns2.direct5.net:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:14400:3600:604800:86400 - >> 
records

Ofcourse you need to modify the nameservers and hostmaster contact in the soa line.
