NACK,

The problem is that if there are 10 A records, and I only want to modify 
one, I have no way to specify which one.

The API should be something like:

ipa dnsrecord-mod ayoung.boston.devel.redhat.com testa  10.10.2.3  
--a-rec=,10.11.12.13


Alternatively, we can decide that we are not going to do mod, and have 
the WebUI do a delete and an add:
