NAME

Provision::Unix::DNS - generic class for common DNS tasks

VERSION

version 1.08

SYNOPSIS

The Provision::Unix::DNS provides a consistent API for managing DNS zones and records regardless of the underlying DNS server. Applications make calls to Provision::Unix::DNS such as create_zone, create_zone_record, modify_zone, etc.

use Provision::Unix::DNS;

my $dns = Provision::Unix::DNS->new();
$dns->zone_create( zone=>'example.com' );

$dns->zone_modify( zone=>'example.com', hostmaster=>'dnsadmin@admin-zone.com' );

DESCRIPTION

Rather than write code to generate BIND zone files, tinydns data files, or API calls to various servers, write your application to use Provision::Unix::DNS instead. The higher level DNS class contains methods for each type of DNS task as well as error handling, rollback support, and logging. Based on the settings in your provision.conf file, your request will be dispatched to your DNS Server of choice. Subclasses are created for each type of DNS server.

Support is included for NicTool via its native API and tinydns. I will leave it to others (or myself in the unplanned future) to write modules to interface with other DNS servers. Good candidates for modules are BIND and PowerDNS.

FUNCTIONS

create_zone

create_zone_record

get_zone
