I am simplifying the interface for NicTool in v2.05.  For example, I don't present a Weight field unless editing a MX or SRV record. That sort of thing.
Along that vein, I'm also reducing the number of records available based on the zone name. So, if it's a forward zone, we don't bother presenting PTR as an option. 
When editing a reverse zone (anything ending in in-addr.arpa.), the only record types available are PTR, CNAME, NS, and TXT. 
Can anyone foresee a problem with this?
