As it is related to this thread, which server would people recommend when the |
| 24 |
DNS records are to be found in a database? |
| 25 |
Reason I am asking: |
| 26 |
I want to set up a lab environment with VMs coming and going. |
| 27 |
These all need to have hostname/mac/ip stored and configured correctly. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Till now, I basically preconfigured Bind and DHCPd for a bunch of them. |
| 30 |
I would prefer to be able to specify a hostname for this, but writing |
| 31 |
something that keeps changing the configuration and keeping it in-sync with a |
| 32 |
database is a bit overkill. |
| 33 |
