Well, I see two options:
• Have some kind of presets. Either the whole configuration, that'll overwrite
  the whole thing, or just a preset diff (something saying what elements should be
  removed and what elements added, leaving the rest intact).
• Have a different frontend/UI. This could be just our own configuration and we
  could have a UI with checkboxes, where you'd check the resolver or DHCP or auth
  box, a sub-column with all the related sub-components would get enabled (so,
  under auth you could fine-tune if xfrout should be running, etc).

Both of these would still keep bindctl as the developer tool or something, where
you could still do wizardish things, with little bit of work.

With regards
