Foreman » Smart Proxy

Sure, was just setting it so I could find it easily later. IPAM is part of DHCP anyway.

has anyone started working on this? I'll need this for a new foreman instance and I'd like to start on it and maybe collaborate with someone who knows more about smart proxies and I do :D

AFAIK - no. you are most welcome to join #theforeman-dev or using the mailing list for questions.
I would also suggest to share code early, so we can review and provide feedback.

If you do decide to work on it, please assign the issue to you, thanks!

I started with a first proposal, it does work in my environment but its slow (30secs for a /21 network) - I also changed the infoblox gem a little, those pull requests are already open - so if you want to try it check those
https://github.com/Klaas-/smart-proxy/tree/infoblox_support

I would be happy to hear feedback and any clever ideas to speed it up :)

Okay, the changes to infoblox gem are upstream - the author was very helpful and he even said he may make his gem ruby 1.8.7 compatible :)
for now it needs ruby 1.9.3 & infoblex gem 0.3.3 if anyone wants to test it or give feedback:
https://github.com/Klaas-/smart-proxy/tree/infoblox_support

with the changes to allow lookup of single records its actually acceptable fast for my purposes :)

the author of the infoblox gem made it 1.8.7 compatible so the latest commit should be working fine on 1.8.7 with infoblox gem >= 0.4.1, I'll make a pull request :)

Also see https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy/pull/295 where infoblox support for dhcp is implemented.

So I just created this this morning (and just mailed the foreman-users list about it)

[[https://github.com/sjoeboo/smart_proxy_dns_infoblox]]

its an installable gem as well @ the moment.

I'd appreciate feedback/issues/PR's for it!

Hoping to take a stab at a dhcp provider soon, as I need both of these.

I took another stab at the dhcp part and this is my first version: https://github.com/Klaas-/smart_proxy_dhcp_infoblox

Awesome! I didn't know DHCP one exists already:)
