There's no doubt a file on your RaQ4r called "records"; I took it out of
my RaQ3i, and I really don't remember where it is, but it's in the
directory pointed to by /etc/named.conf.

Study it, to find out the format it uses.

Then create your own script to write to this file, instead of creating
additions to /etc/named.conf, and new db.domain.com files.

Then, when you're records file is complete, run the gui, and commit the
changes.

That works on a RaQ3i, and should work on a RaQ4 as well.

Caution:  I've NOT tested this on a RaQ4.
