I don't know who the American market is, but here in Germany you have to
offer your client multiple domains on one account (virtual sites on a RaQ).
German .DE domains are very cheap, about $0.5 per month so a lot of
customers want
www.theirname.de
www.prename.de
www.familyname.de
www.prenamefamilyname.de
and so on.

The average domain/account is 3 or 4 and I don't like the idea to set them
up all via the gui. This takes to long for many domains.

For most domains it is always the same, the same A, NS and MX records just
with different data. I think about writing a small program (either local and
via telnet/ftp or via cgi) that only wants the domain and ip and then
automatically creates all entries for a whole domain. This could make my
life easier, but I would like to can also use the gui to modify these
records.

I will contact Cobalt on that, perhaps someone has infos on that.
