Hi, First post here!
At my current occupation we rely heavily on our internal DNS operating correctly. And I got involved on how we would do change management, or specifically unit test our existing configuration. I got interested and started a personal project of mine, currently named "bsa" for "bind static analyzer". It allows you to digest a complete bind configuration and run standalone or integrate it into your existing test-suites. Some project goals; * Flexible and extensible. The project is built in a way that clearly separates it's component. Adding custom RRs shouldn't be a problem. * Read-only (with except for caching), no destruction or modifications on the existing configuration should be necessary. * Macro and/or third party sources support. A lot of people generate configuration from a DSL, I want bsa to consume these directly and for it to have the desired effect in the database. * Completely off-line. * Fast. * This is not a bind emulator, just some tools for accessing it's database in a convenient manner. At it's current state it builds an in-memory database that it exposes through some simple query functions. There are also a few library tools useful when writing test suites. If the tool is invoked with '-i' it starts up an ipython embedded shell which gives you full and live access to the internals of the toolkit, for you pythonistas out there this is a lot of fun to play with. I am looking for people willing to try it out, but mainly just sharing and caring. Source available at http://github.com/udoprog/bsa Licensed under GPLv3. -- John-John Tedro
