Thank you for your reply David. Unfortunately I am not much of a perl
developer, I am currently using XML even though they kind of seem alike.
After printing out, hole punching the API specifications... I tried
reading it all again on flat paper. On Page 30. it says...
"The create template command creates a named template, which contains
your basic zone settings and which can be used as a starting point for
zones you'll create later. ..."
So I understand that much, but do you just create one master
template for your reseller account and bind them to newly created
services? Or are the templates meant to be created for each newly
created service in the zones.?
Best Regards,
-H.A.

I haven't implemented much based on the DNS API, as a general comment
I'll
mention that I personally have a lot of trouble following the OpenSRS
specs without also reading the client code.
That is, consider the OpenSRS-provided client code to be a sample
implementation of the API, and read the two alongside. This gives you a
clear example of how the API functions in the real world, and you can
use
that understanding to write your own code (or modify theirs).

In particular, look at the subs "build_add_records" and
"dns_do_update_zone" in manage_dns.cgi.
