Feature Request - DNS Export

Hi

First off, I'd like to give a huge thumbs up, I love the CONTROL D service.

The abstraction of Profiles and Endpoint, is amazing, it means I can create an internal-specific profile, such as "Home Router" of "Parents Router" and use it as a relatively simple/robust internal DNS resolver, for all my self-hosted apps and services, and it works extremely well... but, there is just 1 teeny-tiny problem, I can create a backup.

Everybody these days, should realise that "SaaS is not for-ever", for example, if the unthinkable happens CONTROLD goes out service, and DNS being so critical, what would we do? We have a responsibility to ourselves, to ensure we have potential to restore or find an alternative, and this means we need back ups!

The solution to this:

  1. Is an option to export at least the configuration, at minimum this should allow the Profile > Rules to be exported as CSV.
  2. The ability to trigger this via the UI, and is then sent to the Users browser as a download.
  3. The ability to trigger this via an API, response to the API call, should be the path to a downloadable file (the link should expire after X time, and the file deleted)
