I'd recommend not touching the gui, but doing it all yourself
separately.  If you don't, then you're stuck with the same limitations
as the gui, just a bit faster speed.

And don't forget you also have to manage the /etc/named.conf file.

Our /etc/named.conf files have hundreds and hundreds of domains in
them.  We break DNS down into many subdirectories as well, to make
domains more manageable.
