rackspace Cloud DNS API Tools

I’ve been looking at moving my nameserver to rackspace cloud dns to take advantage of the records support which my current provider lacks; the rs cloud portal supports a basic interface to their DNS API but lacks access to the records I’m interested in (DKIM/SPF/SRV/etc).

There seems to be a lack of utilities on the internet to take advantage of this API, maybe it’s because DNS just isn’t cool? … Anyway I’ve decided to take a crack at this myself. Introducing RSDNS!

Hosted on github, rsdns is going to be a set of shell scripts of making DNS changes, now my shell scripting can be a bit n00b at times so there’s only two tools today but I’m hoping to write enough to migrate my domains to the cloud dns.

Feel free to submit recommendations, code preferably either here or on github.

rgds,

Nick

  1. Hey, great job. I’ve been hesitant to move over some clients who rely on SRV records; I really don’t want to run my own DNS server.

    Keep up the good work. ^_^
