New infoblox dns smart proxy provider

So my group @ work uses infoblox run by our infrastructure team (we're the
research computing devops team), so a little while back i started looking @
foreman integration. I saw there was an attempt to two at hooking forman
into infoblox, but nothing recent or as a smart-proxy dns plugin, so this
morning I whipped this up:

it…works. As in it will create A and ptr records when a host is created,
and remove them when a host is deleted. I'd love feed back, so open issues,
submit prs, etc, and I'd love to get this packaged up and a bit more
offical once it passes muster!

I'm hoping to start to take a crack at a dhcp version of this soon as well.

Hi Matthew

Great stuff! It's really nice to see the proxy providers getting some more
options :slight_smile:

We have a Foreman Community Demo today [1] at 2pm UK time - it's short
notice, but would like to be part of it and show off what you've built? If
so, let me know here or in IRC in the next wee while :wink:

Thanks!

Thank you so much for making your code available. I am actually trying to
make this work. It looks like I've got things setup properly according to
the documentation but I'm getting error ERF12-2357, which is a general
smart proxy/foreman comunication error. Where would I go to find any logs
spacific to this plugin? Also, is there any way I can take foreman out of
the picture and just run an update directly from the smart proxy in order
to test?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/smart-proxy/wiki/API
you can use curl to test it for example. For logs: you can turn on debug logging in foreman-proxy (Troubleshooting - Foreman).

I'm not too familliar with the dns part of the infoblox proxy, but thats how I test the dhcp infoblox proxy :slight_smile:
