I wrote a dns management system some time ago and used xml to describe the base data. I’m hard pressed to know of a better format where you can hand-edit, easily diff, have schema validation of data, and reliably transform the data into other formats (in this case bind, isc dhcp, and documentation with graphviz+html) OTOH, I’ve seen xml schemas that would make a rattlesnake cry.
