=== ruby-pdns-reverse ===

This is a ruby-pdns (http://code.google.com/p/ruby-pdns/) module to allow easy management of reverse DNS using PowerDNS.

== Requirements ==

This module require ruby-pdns 0.5.0 with the regexp patch (http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-pdns-users/browse_thread/thread/35065dd3fe4f02a4). 

You also need to change line 6 of ruby-pdns/lib/pdns/response.rb :

    VALIDQTYPES = [:A, :CNAME, :NS, :SRV, :MX, :TXT, :PTR]

== Features ==

* Answer PTR requests for configured IP ranges, using a generated hostname (12.34.56.78 will be associated with 12-34-56-78.default_domain)

* Resolves back generated reverse DNS entries to original IP

== TODO ==

* Refresh reverse database periodically (reload the file)

== Install ==

* Install ruby-pdns

* Add these lines to pdns-ruby-backend.cfg (remplace with your own domains/subnets) :

    ## ruby-pdns-reverse configuration

    # Database file for reverse (one "ip,host" per line)

    reverse.database = /etc/pdns/reverse-database.txt

    # Domains for which we should answer A requests (should be all your domains used for reverse DNS)

    reverse.domains = reverse.domain1.tld,reverse.domain2.tld

    # Subnets for which we should provide reverse DNS entries, here 192.168.0.0/24 and 10.11.0.0/16

    reverse.subnets = 192.168.0,10.11

    # Default domain, used to generate reverse DNS entries when the requested IP/reverse is not in the database

    # 12.34.56.78 will be associated with 12-34-56-78.default_domain

    reverse.default_domain = reverse.domain1.tld

* Drop reverse.pdns in your configurer ruby-pdns records directory (/etc/pdns/records with default configuration)

* ruby-pdns should load automaticaly the reverse.pdns module, and start answering
