mskarbek / ansible-nsupdate Goto Github PK

Hello
this is a nice module, in ansible we have many interesting modules to manage infrastructure. I recently ported omapi_host module from my corporate repository to ansible upstream repository and i miss a nsupdate module. I think i'm not alone to have this problem.

Is this possible you port the module to ansible/ansible repository ? Could be nice to have this module in future 2.3

Your code works great, I just want to request a feature be added.

When I use nsupdate to create an A record, 99% of the time I want a PTR to go along with it.
Can you add an option in the module that will use the information given to create an A record to decide the appropriate reverse lookup zone to add a PTR to, and then add it.
I'd also want it to remove any such PTR if I set the state to "absent" anywhere I am creating an A record and setting the requested PTR option to "true".

I don't even know if this is possible, but thought I would ask.

This is my first "issue" here on github, so I am not certain I am doing this right. Apologies if I put this feature request in the wrong place.

Thanks for the great work!

When I use the nsupdate module to create a PTR record, it always creates the record so the value of the record is <whatever_I_set>.<zone_name>.

Specific example:

• name: Add PTR record
  nsupdate:
  server: "nsServer"
  zone: "10.in-addr.arpa."
  record: "102.100.1"
  value: "ansible-test.nsServer"
  type: PTR
  state: present

Creates the record as expected except 10.1.100.102.in-addr.arpa points to ansible-test.nsServer.10.in-addr.arpa. instead of ansible-test.nsServer.

Could you explain how can i implement it? I did a playbook like your example, adding a role, but ansible dont recognise the nsupdate.py in ../roles/nsupdate.. Could you explain a little bit, how can i implement it? thanks!
