Comment(by zhanglikun):

 How you plan to let it return an error? since configmanager or cmdctl
 doesn't know it now.

 BTW, I have some comments about the operation for configuration.

 1. For the low-level configuration item, maybe it's not easy to config it
 by bindctl, like I want to change one port of the master, the commmand
 will like "config set xfrin/masters[2]/port 53", I don't know whether we
 will provide lower level config items.

 '''
 {
    module_name: 'xfrin':
    [
        {
          masters: [
             { 'ip':1.1.1.1, 'port':53 }
             { 'ip':2.2.2.2, 'port':12345 }
             { 'ip':3.3.3.3, 'port':12345 }
          ]
        }
    ]
 }
 '''


 2. I am not sure whether the 'static' configuration APIs can handle the
 "big" configuration operation, like I want to set several 'masters' for
 more than one zone, I had thought it can be down through bindctl, but it
 really frustrating, because I have to 'config set master 1.1.1.1, then
 config commit" again and again. It's better let user to write the
 configuration in one file, then load it to config manager. (We talked it
 in beijing f2f meeting.)
