DNS tool to keep track of configuration and webservers?

I registered some 50+ domains: different variations of our own product names, and a few generic names. Mostly to prevent the competition and our own dealers to register them, and to take advantage of type-in traffic.

However I am beginning to lose track on them. Many of them are along the lines of widget123.com and widget-123.com. I just found a few which redirected to the wrong virtual webserver since they were not explicitely configured.

Is there a tool which keeps track of my domains, and of the servers they are associated with?

DNS pointing: Consolidate all the domain names to a single registrar and use their bulk DNS management tools to view pointing records.

Domain management: An access database works nicely. Make the domain name the "key".

I suspect that it would not be that hard to code a tool to match domain names to DNS records.

I think the key is the methodology for managing and updating DNS records, which is why I think using a single registrar is the best idea. YMMV (Your Motives May Vary). ;)

I run and host my own webservers and my own (primary) DNS server.
