h1. Draft 20 version of DNS API, with working notes
h2. Current API
|_.DNS |
|/dns|POST|Create a new DNS record|@{"fqdn":string(name/ip), "value":string(ip/reverse), "type":string(A/PTR)}@|
|/dns/value|DELETE|remove value(ip or reverse) DNS record||
h2. Record types
h3. Should be implemented in next version of DNS API
/dns/zone/A (supports multiple records)
/dns/zone/PTR (Does not support multiple records)
/dns/zone/CNAME (Bind 9 doesn't support roundrobin cnames, so we should at first limit CNAMEs to a single record)
/dns/zone/AAAA (ipv6 address, supports (supports multiple records)
/dns/zone/TXT (is a single string field of "value" no "fqdn" required, supports (supports multiple records)
/dns/zone/SPF (is a single string field of "value" no "fqdn" required, supports (supports multiple records)
/dns/zone/MX (Needs an extra preference number field, supports multiple records)
h3. Deferred:
/dns/zone/SOA (Can not be dynamically deleted, and needs extra code to handle)
/dns/zone/NS (Needs manual serial number increment
/dns/zone/SRV (Needs more research.. It might be easy enough, but isn't a priority yet)
h2. Ohad notes
GET /dns -> list of dns zones managed by that proxy
GET /dns/zone -> list of all zone records
GET /dns/zone/record_type list of all dns records with a given type, for
example all CNAME would be /dns/1.2.3.4/CNAME
GET /dns/zone/record -> details of the specific record.
POST /dns/zone -> creates a new record
DELETE /dns/zone/record -> deletes a record
