Currently the adder dialog for DNS zone has the following interface:
Zone name: [ example.com ] (text field) Reverse zone IP network: [ ] (checkbox)
This interface is confusing because the same text field will be used for entering the reverse zone IP network when the checkbox is checked
Zone name: [ 192.169.1.0/24 ] Reverse zone IP network: [x]
One option is to change the label of the text field into 'IP address/netmask' if the checkbox is checked:
IP address/netmask: [ 192.169.1.0/24 ] Reverse zone IP network: [x]
Another option is to use separate text fields for zone name and reverse zone IP network and select them using radio buttons.
For a regular zone name:
(*) Zone name: [ example.com ] ( ) Reverse zone IP network: [ ]
For a reverse zone IP with netmask:
( ) Zone name: [ ] (*) Reverse zone IP network: [ 192.168.1.0/24 ]
For a reverse zone name:
(*) Zone name: [ 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. ] ( ) Reverse zone IP network: [ ]
These need to be two separate lines. We are not saving any space by having a check box instead of a field. It just causes confusion. The solution Endi proposes here is the clearest model.
