Using NetBox DNS
summary
NetBox DNS is a NetBox plugin that stores zones, records, views and DNSSEC policies and exposes them via REST and GraphQL; the demo uses Ansible inventory and the piNetBox API to create a host whose reverse PTR is automatically synchronized into a view. Export uses OctoDNS to generate BIND master files (which bind accepts), though OctoDNS currently regenerates SOA serials each run. Features shown: IDN support, RFC2137 classless delegation, record-type validation, scripted exports/events and templated key/signing policies that tie into signers.
