... I'd like to ask a background question, but first to ack that I have the full picture: - we are trying to update both forward and backward dns zones - we are not using DHCP's inbuild facility for that for a good reason - and we're running into reverse lookup mapping constraints that caused rfc2317 to be written. So my background question is - why don't we what EC2 do and bulk setup DNS in both directions for the entire range? Here is an example ec2 address: ec2-204-236-202-134.compute-1.amazonaws.com and reverse: host 204.236.202.134 134.202.236.204.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ec2-204-236-202-134.compute-1.amazonaws.com. So, you could imagine setting up N DNS servers all with identical configuration, and DHCP has no effect on DNS at all. N would be however many we want for scaling and load - it could be that N == nodegroups. -Rob -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maas-devel Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maas-devel More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
