I think this topic definitely makes sense to discuss at the summit.
Its been thrown out before, but never with actual development
resources behind it, which is of course the only thing that can make
it happen.  I agree that seems like a very natural extension of the
existing IPAM capabilities.

I am aware of the nova-dns service developed by Grid Dynamics, and the current Nova implementation, and they would be a good base.

This would also allow for opening the door for a more generic purpose DNS as a Service capability, where tenants may even manage DNS resources that are not in the realm hosted and managed by openstack.
