Disable a zone / domain / record

Description

Currently PowerDNS is missing a standard and supported way to disable a zone/domain/record, similar to bind (with which one could comment out entries or entire zones).

This could be accomplished right now by adding a disabled field to the respective tables and customizing the queries (like the "basic-query") with adding " AND disabled = 0", but this is in no way standard.

This is necessary to have some consistency for administration tools (like PowerAdmin? for example). Also, administrators find it cumbersome to delete/restore a zone having for example over 100 entries manually.

To do this, please customize the SQL queries to have an 'active' field.

Thanks for the answer. Manually customizing SQL queries each time it's quite cumbersome and error prone. It would have been nice to have this feature, but it's your call.
