Astaro as a fully-functional DNS server with backward lookup zones
It would be nice if Astaro could be used as a fully-functional DNS server with backward lookup zones and all. At the moment SOHO networks with no internal DNS are unable to perform reverse dns etc

I would suggest looking into http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html for this task. There is a single program for each DNS task so that all duties are separated as one would like to have on a firewall. Furthermore the config files are already prepared to be worked on by programs. Most important: this tool has an extremely low memory and performance footprint which makes it usable even in the smallest boxes.

Lotus Domino/Notes user has many cases that install an SMTP relay server and an outside public DNS server in the DMZ. There is a demand to want to use those functions in Astaro, and want to remove a DNS/SMTP relay server in the DMZ.

This is a required feature especially for the home use market. Everyone now has an access point and several devices in the home.

That's really useful for home users with no internal DNS. At the moment, I have not reverse dns ability

Yes, it shouldn't be that difficult to make the proxy into a full-fledged DNS.
