Some questions:

Is the field name_from_ip conditional?  I assume that either we want to 
provide the name, or calculate the name from the IP address.

Should the field be a checkbox?

Will you code to calculate the reverse zone for an IPv6 Address work for 
the shorthand notation  like this?

feco:aaaa:bbbb::1111

What is the point of the code
+        while True:
+            default = self.get_default(**params)
+            if len(default) == 0:
+                break
+            params.update(default)

I am guessing that there is no risk of an infinite loop here.  Just 
seems like this code is meant to run for things other than dns.
