#141 Export to DHCP/Bind/DNSmasq

[Scott Peters]

Please add the ability to export to more tools such as the ones listed in the title.

I have attached some basic versions of an exporter but they are most likely buggy. They run from the basedir and don't require authentication, perfect for using wget or curl in a shell script that also restarts the service.

bind and dnsmasq

[Jay Allen]

I would certainly like to see exports to or integration with DNS and DHCP services.

why not use http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/ to interact with DB "directly" ?

[Jay Allen]

I've attached a trivial example that makes ISC DHCP style configs too. Its logic is that it looks for subnets described as "DHCP range", as the default example data does for one subnet.

Hi, I plan to somehow include DNS/DHCP into phpipam, I am just not sure yet how to do it properly for all users and as simple as possible.

DNS:
Exporting is not a problem I guess, bind-dlz looks promising but kinda hard to implement.

PowerDNS seems to be a really good solution, I know some sysadmins that use it happily, it has native MySQL support, I could also write a GUI to manage zones etc from phpipam directly, binding hostnames to IP addresses etc. Exporting to binds zone files from DB should be easy if bind is required.

DHCP:
I guess for DHCP only exporting is an option, I would go this way:
- enable/disable DHCP support globally under settings;
- mark specific subnet as DHCP exportable;
- gateway marking will be available soon so GW per subnet will be selected;
- set default DHCP settings per subnet (lease-time,...), saved to DB as JSON key-vals;
- new button that would popup with config file, with download button and cron script to generate configs in terminal.

I am rewriting all functions at the moment, after that I will focus on those features.

For DNS exports/integraton I assumed targeting Bind9 made sense because its
intended to be a reference implementation of the standard. Bind is also
bundled with just about everything Unix like, but not all have DLZ builtin.
That said, PowerDNS is already packaged with Ubuntu server. I see
PowerDNS in the Fedora 20 default repos. Unfortunately its not in default
Centos 7. Its very easy to compile from source and is distributed as
DEBs/RPMs on the home web site. At a service provider I've seen PowerDNS
take tens of megabits of steady queries... works great! If you like
PowerDNS, go for it!

DHCP, in my mind is the same story standards/reference wise. You might be
interested in the new Kea project at ISC. Its a brand new implementation
of DHCP services, with native database support. Its not ready for
production yet. http://kea.isc.org/wiki

I like you ideas about implementation. there are a million knobs on DNS
and DHCP, but if you aim at a minimal feature complete example, it can
evolve from there? Maybe a generic way to add arbitrary default config
grammar?

Jay Allen
