Foreman » Smart Proxy

My production foreman instance does not control DNS but it does manage DHCP for most subnets via ISC DHCP. DNS A and PTR records are always created before the host is added to foreman. It would be a convience if the primary interface/bmc interface performed configuration tab performed any of these lookups:

• attempt to resolve the fqdn and if an A/AAAA/CNAME record exists, suggest that IP address; perhaps this behavior could be dependent on whether or not the selected subnet has DNS management; alternatively, the subnet could be auto selected based on fqdn resolution as soon as the domain is selected

• attempt to resolve the IP address (user entered or auto suggested) and display a warning next to the address text box if an existing PTR record conflicts with the fqdn.

• (not a DNS lookup but related) check that the IP address is in the range of the selected subnet and display a warning next to the address text box or subnet drop down if it is not.
