Hi folks: As some of you may know, in it's current default configuration the console proxy VM uses an external DNS service called realhostip.com.
Historically that has never been a part of the CloudStack code, and was actually largely based on dnsjava (which is BSD licensed). The CloudStack documentation provided some rudimentary design guidelines of providing a service that provided the same functionality. The fact that this was not open sourced was recently brought up - and I think largely it was an oversight. So the decision within Citrix has been made to open source this code. The question I am bringing here is - is there interest for this to become part of the Apache CloudStack codebase (or in a separate git repo at the ASF) or whether this should just be hosted somewhere like github. If there is interest here, I surmise that we'll need to run it through the IP clearance process, but feel free to correct me if I misunderstand that as well. --David
