I'm using Satellite 6.2. When you define a new host in sat6, it populates 
dhcp and DNS, which is awesome.

But what about things other than hosts? I have several non-RHEL systems, 
and several non-computer devices like routers which my office DNS and DHCP 
need to serve.

What is the best/right way to add these systems to DNS and DHCP?

To update DNS, I've been using:

nsupdate -k /etc/rndc.conf forward.txt
nsupdate -k /etc/rndc.conf reverse.txt

where forward.txt has entries like

update add foo.xyz.lan <http://foo.tc.redhat.com> 86400 A 172.31.100.36
update add bar.xyz.lan <http://bar.tc.redhat.com> 86400 A 172.31.100.37
update add baz.xyz.lan <http://baz.tc.redhat.com> 86400 A 172.31.100.38
send

and reverse.txt has entries like

update add 36.100.31.172.in-addr.arpa 86400 PTR foo. 
<http://foo.tc.redhat.com>xyz.lan <http://baz.tc.redhat.com>.
update add 37.100.31.172.in-addr.arpa 86400 PTR bar. 
<http://bar.tc.redhat.com>xyz.lan <http://baz.tc.redhat.com>.
update add 38.100.31.172.in-addr.arpa 86400 PTR baz. 
<http://baz.tc.redhat.com>xyz.lan <http://baz.tc.redhat.com>.
send

I am not sure what the best/right way to add static mappings to DHCP, 
though. I am looking at "hammer host create," but I'm not actually creating 
hosts, so that feels heavy handed. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Thomas
