I had to write a script to 'fix' our SOA records since we weren't modifying them after creation to specify a primary and secondary dns server, which would end up just defaulting to the machine it's on, not including any of our other DNS servers. How do people handle this, do you always manually specify? It seems like the DNS GUI could use some added default settings for the SOA records which includes the default primary/secondary DNS would be beneficial. Any insight would be beneficial as we're cleaning up our DNS server setup.
