Add the ability to apply DNS Template to existing domains on Windows

Introduce DNS records multi-column sort.
When required to add a few NS records, it's easy to make typos as DNS records can be sorted by a record type but not sorted by value.
The following sorting is proposed:
1. User Sorts by Value, then the order is: Value (ASC or DESC), Type (ASC), Host (ASC)
2. User Sorts by Type, then the order is: Type (ASC or DESC), Host (ASC), Value (ASC)
3. User Sorts by Host, then the order is: Host (ASC or DESC), Type (ASC), Value (ASC)1 voteThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Be honest about whether DNS records in Plesk are actually applied
The DNS records in Plesk pretend as though they're actually being applied to the domain, but this is FALSE. The nameservers of my domain are not set to my domain's name. You need to compare the actual nameserver records and to the ones in the Plesk settings before acting like you're the name server for my domain.

Raw SOA Editor
I want to change the DNS-Editor to the Raw View like a Source Editor for HTML.
Its way better to import dns from other providers to plesk with the raw soa file format if there are too much records to single add them via gui.
Maybe a Button "Extended View" with default SOA Design

Keep DNS zone functionality
Please add functionality to "Keep DNS zone".
It would allow keeping the DNS zone of a domain when this domain is deleted.
This is useful, for example, if you move an account to a different server that is a part of the same DNS cluster as the previous server, and you want to delete the account information from the original server.
The same functionality is implemented in cPanel:

Disable DNS when Subscription is Disabled
When a Subscription is Disabled, DNS records are currently still served for the domain. When email and/or websites are hosted remotely, Disabling the Subscription in Plesk therefore has no real effect.
Keeping the DNS records active when the Subscription is merely Suspended seems correct. But keeping them enabled when the Subscription is Disabled is not ideal with remotely-hosted email or web.
Obviously simply disabling DNS for the domain resolves the problem, but I think it should be automatic when the domain is Disabled rather than just Suspended.

Add custom dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI or CLI and avoid overwriting by Plesk
Going to Tools & Settings > DNS Template > DNS Recursion Settings, it's not possible to set a custom list of IPs or hostnames, it's only possible to choose between different options: any host, localnets, localhost.
As a workaround to this limitation, i'ts required to customize the options section in the /etc/named.conf file, but it gets overwritten by Plesk.
Please, add the possibility to customize the dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI and to keep the custom allow-recursive set in /etc/named.conf file.
