[bind10-dev] how to control the auth server datastore

Hi,

I'm drilling through a mass of details as I get ready to try a first 
attempt of mapping out a higher level user interface for the command tool.

One big thing to control is the auth server datastore. At this point, 
there is only one and schema and SQL queries are hard coded into the 
library. This is different than how DLZ did it, where the schema was 
external and BIND was fed the SQL commands to do all the necessary 
functions.

It would really help me to have a sense of where this will evolve toward 
as BIND develops. I can leave a large "TBD" flag for all this, but it 
would be better if there was some concept for this in the command tool 
design and that it matches the current thinking of where this area will go.

I mostly need to get a guess of what things are going to be controllable 
in 2-3 years time and not how it will work internally.

thanks,
jerry
