 There are two main types of tools in this package:
 * rsdns.py: a Python commandline tool that allows you to list domains, list records in a domain, create a record in a domain, update a record in a domain, delete a record from a domain, import a domain from a BIND9 file, and to delete a whole domain
 * bash scripts: a set of Bash scripts that let you call the Rackspace API directly to authenticate (auth.sh), export a domain (export.sh), and show records for a domain (records.sh).  These are not as useful as the python commandline tool, but are included due to the export feature.
