Well, I threatened to write one.

``PremierDNS.com -- this is really a hack: become a registrar with no
DNS servers, no billing ability, no employees and not be ICANN
registered. This isn't a real business idea but more an integration of
existing web services with a neat front-end.''

http://www.directnic.com/ I've found pretty good for the things you're
talking about.
