DNS managment webapp
June 5, 2004 Posted by mitch | projects, work | 0 Comments
At work we use a program called "QuickDNS" for managing our domains for both testing, development and production environments. The problem is it is costly, and to do what we need it to, will cost even more. So, over the last couple of days, I've been contemplating how to write my own, something that just does DNS, because thats all we need. The basics would really be pretty simple, the only thing that makes me think it will be difficult is "checking" to make sure the user of the web app is aware of what they are doing. So they don't screw things up. But I guess that would be possible with the program we are using currently. It doesn't do that many checks, so it is possible to screw up a server if the user doesn't know what they are doing. I'm hoping that after I get all my servers upgraded to RHEL3, I will have a bit more time to play with such an idea, but really I think it would take me about a week to get something working and only minor bugs needing to be worked out. But maybe I'm just being over zealous about it. But then again, its just another project for me to work on. Along with the System Information database... As soon as I get a basic framework for either of them, they both will be able to be plugged into it however. Which will be nice.
