Hi, seems close but I'm not sure if it hits the target. What I need is the ability for customers to be able to login and update entries within a zone. More specifically, the ability to allow customers to update their -in-addr.arpa reverses based on us allocating them things like /29.s I may be crusty here too, but to the best of my knowledge, it is impossible break below /24 at the 'zone' level in reverse DNS. Or at least the tools we use do not allow that. Hence the problem. Given a typical /24, which is easy to manage, I need a tool that allows customers to to have maybe a single IP that they can update to 'mail.theircompany.com', or in other cases, folks that have a /29 or bigger that want 'mail.theircompany.com', 'vpn.parentcompany.com', 'somethingelse.someotherdomain.com', etc. I guess what I am for is a kludge, to make DNS map to CIDR, but also a way that it could be done in a user friendly way.
