It would be nice to support $GENERATE records such as:

$GENERATE 1-10 IN PTR 10-0-1-$.domain.com.
$GENERATE 1-10 web$.domain.com. IN A 10.0.1.$

Still sorting out the best way to support this.

Answer 2 · 2015-05-26T11:45:05.000Z

Are there any current plans to support/implement this? (It's tagged with "1.2 release", which is a while back).

Answer 3 · 2015-05-26T12:26:56.000Z

Would like to, but still don't know how.

Hi,

I read the link topic. And experimented, that's a very simple example, it can will help you to make the generator:

How about being able to bulk-generate the records (so they're stored as individual records, not as a GENERATE statement in the configuration)? This would "ease the pain" of transitioning to fmDNS.

We have quite a few series of names (foo-switch-XXX, foo-ap-XX) - the IPs never change, so the $GENERATE statement in itself isn't necessary, just an easy way in BIND to accomplish this.

Hi,
Its is what Ineed, but I don't understand if was implemented or not.

To contribute you, I send two links how to delegate subnets in reverse zones.

The first is too simple, but I don't understand about programming.

With the release of fmDNS 5.0.0, there is support to add custom RR data where one could utilize the $GENERATE directive.
