Managine DNS (bind) information for OSX client

Have you purchased Mac OS X Server?  Are you serving the DNS  
information from a Mac OS X Server machine?  If so, have you tried  
using the free Server Admin tool that Apple provides?  They do have a  
GUI for DNS/BIND which seems to work.  I quickly outgrew it, due to  
my hard-headed idea that I wanted to run a locally caching named  
server, but you might find it to be perfectly usable.  But I don't  
think Server Admin will allow you to manage DNS information served by  
non-OSX servers.

I will soon start managing 2-3 domain's DNS information.  I really don't
enjoy editing named.conf by hand.  I'm considering installing webmin to
help deal with this, but thought I'd ask for suggestions for other  
tools.

TIA,
