Adding reverse DNS record may be a time consuming task, especially for IPv6 addresses. Having a way to automatically create a reverse record when a forward record is created could speed up the process. host-add command already has this possibility.This patch takes advantage of the new per-type API and adds new options for A/AAAA record types: --a-create-reverse and --aaaa-create-reverse. These commands can be used to automatically create reverse records for new A/AAAA addresses (both forward and reverse zones need to be managed by FreeIPA server): ipa dnsrecord-add example.com foo --a-rec=10.0.0.1 --a-create-reverse This command would add a new A record to record foo in zone example.com and a PTR record to appropriate reverse zone for IP address 10.0.0.1 (for example PTR record 1 in zone 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. pointing to foo.example.com.). Few modification were done to new DNS API to support this feature: - Refactor --ip-address option handling from host-add and place it to dns.py to be used by both modules - Add support for "extra" per-type options - Hide DNS record part options in dnsrecord_find command as they have no effect for this command https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2009
Can the options -a-create-reverse and -aaaa-create-reverse be combined? I was able to create an IPv4 addr using -aaaa-create-reverse:
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com baz --a-rec=192.168.166.115 --aaaa-create-reverse
Record name: baz A record: 192.168.166.115 Otherwise the patch seems fine. rob _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
