Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
So, we've maintained our forward and reverse DNS in an /etc/hosts file
for years. From that, we have a script (recently rewritten) that
generates bind zone files for one forward domain and the IPv4 reverse
DNS from that, and then includes some various records from a bind
"include" file.
The include files are few enough that that could be handled manually.
So, is there a way to import a hosts file? I also have a routing table
from one of our border routers that I can use to programmatically know
where the bounds of various network blocks are.
I've tried the bind importer, but for some reason it doesn't like the
bind files I've generated (which bind seems fine with):
Bareword found where operator expected at eoni.com line 10591, near "245
IN"
(Missing operator before IN?)
Number found where operator expected at eoni.com line 10592, near "216"
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
Bareword found where operator expected at eoni.com line 10592, near "246
IN"
(Missing operator before IN?)
Number found where operator expected at eoni.com line 10593, near "216"
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
So, I've been using python's requests library to try to interact with
the webUI, but that takes quite a while to get right. What's the best
way to get a hosts file into netdot (at least for tracking used
addresses and generating DNS zone files)?

The easiest would be to look into why the BIND files are not imported, and
correct that.
Otherwise, you could write some code to parse your /etc/hosts file and create
Net::DNS objects, which can then be fed into Zone::import_records() in Netdot.
