Simple domain tool

This aims to be a simple, handy, web-based tool to query for e.g. DNS and WHOIS records. It should make life easier for people who work with many domains and provide them a "swiss army knife" tool. It is written in Ruby and built with Sinatra. It runs great on Ruby 1.9.3 or 2.0.0 and on Heroku "Celadon Cedar" stack.
