salt.states.ddns¶

Dynamic DNS updates¶

Ensure a DNS record is present or absent utilizing RFC 2136 type dynamic updates.

depends:	dnspython

Note

The dnspython module is required when managing DDNS using a TSIG key. If you are not using a TSIG key, DDNS is allowed by ACLs based on IP address and the dnspython module is not required.

Example:

webserver:
  ddns.present:
    - zone: example.com
    - ttl: 60
    - data: 111.222.333.444
    - nameserver: 123.234.345.456
    - keyfile: /srv/salt/dnspy_tsig_key.txt

salt.states.ddns.absent(name, zone, data=None, rdtype=None, **kwargs)¶

Ensures that the named DNS record is absent.

name: The host portion of the DNS record, e.g., 'webserver'. Name and zone are concatenated when the entry is created, so make sure that information is not duplicated in these two arguments.
zone: The zone to check
data: Data for the DNS record. E.g., the IP address for an A record. If omitted, all records matching name (and rdtype, if provided) will be purged.
rdtype: DNS resource type. If omitted, all types will be purged.
**kwargs: Additional arguments the ddns.update function may need (e.g. nameserver, keyfile, keyname). Note that the nsupdate key file can’t be reused by this function, the keyfile and other arguments must follow the dnspython spec.

salt.states.ddns.present(name, zone, ttl, data, rdtype='A', **kwargs)¶

Ensures that the named DNS record is present with the given ttl.

name: The host portion of the DNS record, e.g., 'webserver'. Name and zone are concatenated when the entry is created, so make sure that information is not duplicated in these two arguments.
zone: The zone to check/update
ttl: TTL for the record
data: Data for the DNS record. E.g., the IP address for an A record.
rdtype: DNS resource type. Default 'A'.
**kwargs: Additional arguments the ddns.update function may need (e.g. nameserver, keyfile, keyname). Note that the nsupdate key file can’t be reused by this function, the keyfile and other arguments must follow the dnspython spec.
