> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature

>
> When deploying Advanced Networks, Virtual Routers are used to isolate
> networks and provide DNS service for all machines inside each network. While
> this approach is better for keeping networks more secure and self-contained,
> it imposes a challenge when machines need to translate names that belong to
> machines from another network, i.e. machine in network A needs to find the IP
> address of a machine in network B.
> A common solution for this problem is to make sure the Virtual Router from
> network B has its name translated from network A, but this does not scale to
> a corporate network, where you need to translate domain names of every
> machine from every network.
> We tackled this problem by using a centralized DNS server, which is external
> to all networks in Cloudstack. That way, every machine is registered in that
> server and every other machine can translate its name by accessing that
> server as well. This server can run any known enterprise DNS server, such as
> Bind or PowerDNS, and provide its services through an external API.
> This proposal includes both a DNS API to be run in a DNS server and a plugin
> designed for integrating virtual machines and virtual networks in Cloudstack
> with DNS API.
> I put design document in wiki
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Bind+and+PowerDNS+integration+by+Globo+DNSAPI.
