Revision 1 (Brian Gupta, 05/09/2011 03:39 AM) → Revision 2/20 (Brian Gupta, 05/09/2011 03:41 AM)

h1. Draft 20 version of DNS API, with working notes 

 _.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 (supports multiple records) 
 /dns/zone/TXT (supports multiple records) 
 /dns/zone/SPF (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
