 It closely follows the UI layout from VegaDNS's (apparently abandoned) 1.1.x development releases, but treats groups, domains, users, and domain records more uniformly.  I also separated the group tree list from the operational sections.
 
-It theoretically supports all DNS types (although actual support for deprecated or very obscure types is limited or nonexistent).  Practically, A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, and TXT records are supported.  SOA records can mostly be altered but serial number schemes other than "let tinydns Do The Right Thing" are not yet supported (#24).

 With the addition of support for reverse DNS zones, some new pseudotypes that emulate some tinydns entries are also available:  A+PTR, AAAA+PTR, PTR template, and A+PTR template.  An AAAA+PTR template type is defined and listed, but it's only present for completeness;  expanding a template to all IPs in any IPv6 block would take far too long.  Only A+PTR is natively supported in tinydns;  AAAA and AAAA+PTR records are only native with a third-party patch.  PTR template and A+PTR template allow simple storage and manipulation of large blocks of DNS entries for IP ranges with fairly simple patterns without having to manually edit hundreds or thousands of records.
