Yeah! I don't know why I didn't get this the first time I tried dnspython, but now its working! And it's so easy, 3 lines of code: def make_dns_entry(pix): update = dns.update.Update(_DOMAIN) update.replace(pix.name, 3600, 'a', pix.outbound) response = dns.query.tcp(update, _NAMESERVER) Thank you for all your help!

Re: How to update DNS record
Hi,
I'm just a trainee working here and I don't really know how the old
Perl script worked.
But I can post the function, maybe you can recognize what is going on
there:
my $domain = "wiv-dom.com";
my $nameserver = "bldc01.wiv-dom.com";
sub makeDNSEntry {
my $res = new Net::DNS::Resolver;
my $query = $res->query("$domain", "NS");
if ($query) {
print "\nMaking entries into nameserver...\nSearching for
nameservers...\n\n" if $opt{d};
foreach my $rr ($query->answer) {
next unless $rr->type eq "NS";
print $rr->nsdname, "\n" if $opt{d};
}
}
else {
print "query for Nameserver for $domain failed: ", $res-
>errorstring, "\n";
}
my $update = new Net::DNS::Update("$domain");
$update->push("pre", yxrrset("$snmpHostName.$domain. A"));
$update->push("update", rr_del("$snmpHostName.$domain. A"));
$update->push("update", rr_add("$snmpHostName.$domain. 3600 A
$outbound"));
$res = new Net::DNS::Resolver;
$res->nameservers("$nameserver");
print "\nNameserver for $domain :" . $nameserver, "\n" if $opt{d};
my $reply = $res->send($update);
if (defined $reply) {
if ($reply->header->rcode eq "NOERROR") {
print "Update for $snmpHostName.$domain. OK\n" if $opt{d};
} else {
print "Update for $snmpHostName.$domain. ERROR : ". $reply-
>header->rcode. "\n" if $opt{d};
}
} else {
print "RESERROR : No reply: ". $res->errorstring. "\n";
}
}
What I want to do is change the A-Record of existing entries in the
DNS server.
I'm getting all the IPs from a django database and ask them via SNMP
what their outbound address is, then I want to change those settings
in our DNS server like in the perl script above.
Sorry for my bad explanation, but I never worked with DNS before...
Andi

Different servers have different features and different interfaces. A start would be to specify which DNS server software needs to be reconfigured. You might also want to include an example of what kind of change you want to make. For example, do you want to add and delete records? Do you want to change the address of associated with an existing A record? Are all your changes in a single zone? etc. Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

No one here knows how the server is configured or how the perl script did it before, so there's little chance someone will have an example that works for you.

It worked before with a perl script, but now I'm using django for all our web services so I want to implement this update function in Python as well. I don't know how to do this in Python, right now I'm trying it with twisted, but I don't what to do exactly. It would be nice if somebody has an example for doing this.

Read RFC 2136 (Dynamic updates in the DNS) and see if your server can be configured to do this. If not, you'll have to change the zone files manually and reload the DNS config.
