DNS Zone File Library
A library for creating and parsing DNS zone files
Zone File Example
$ORIGIN example.com
$TTL 86400
server1 IN A 10.0.1.5
server2 IN A 10.0.1.7
dns1 IN A 10.0.1.2
dns2 IN A 10.0.1.3
ftp IN CNAME server1
mail IN CNAME server1
mail2 IN CNAME server2
www IN CNAME server2
Parsing Zone Files
>>> zone_file_object = parse_zone_file(zone_file)
>>> print json.dumps(zone_file_object, indent=4, sort_keys=True)
{
"$origin": "EXAMPLE.COM",
"$ttl": 86400,
"a": [
{
"ip": "10.0.1.5",
"name": "SERVER1"
},
{
"ip": "10.0.1.7",
"name": "SERVER2"
},
{
"ip": "10.0.1.2",
"name": "DNS1"
},
{
"ip": "10.0.1.3",
"name": "DNS2"
}
],
"cname": [
{
"alias": "SERVER1",
"name": "FTP"
},
{
"alias": "SERVER1",
"name": "MAIL"
},
{
"alias": "SERVER2",
"name": "MAIL2"
},
{
"alias": "SERVER2",
"name": "WWW"
}
]
}Making Zone Files
>>> records = {'uri': [{'priority': 1, 'target': 'https://mq9.s3.amazonaws.com/naval.id/profile.json', 'name': '@', 'weight': 10, 'ttl': '1D'}]}
>>> zone_file = make_zone_file(records, origin="ryan.id", ttl="3600")
>>> print zone_file$ORIGIN ryan.id
$TTL 3600
@ 1D URI 1 10 "https://mq9.s3.amazonaws.com/naval.id/profile.json"
