Rackspace Cloud Server DNS Add SPF Records

Question

I've setup my new LAMP server on Rackspace Cloud and the Basic A, C and MX DNS setup is no problem.

I need to add an SPF record for a project I am migrating over to this new server that allows emails from a 3rd party server and I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

There doesn't seem to be an option to add a TXT record in my Rackspace Cloud Server interface and I installed the BIND DNS on my Apache server, but I am not sure how to get that to been seen, etc.

So which do you want to do? Run your own DNS server, or contact Rackspace support to ask them for TXT record support in their excruciatingly painful DNS management webapp? — womble, Jul 16 '11 at 23:16
Have you contacted rackspace support yet? If not, why haven't you?! — Chris S, Jul 17 '11 at 01:00
Hell, the whole point of Rackspace is the support, isn't it? — ceejayoz, Oct 11 '12 at 15:48

Rackspace is making efforts to improve the control panel but in the meantime, you can use the newly announced DNS API to add TXT/SPF records. Check out the Rackspace blog post.

I also wrote a tutorial on using curl to use the API.
