[Openstack] Configuring Openstack (Essex) to use existing Dynamic DNS servers

I didn't find anything that caught my eye either.  I'm not sure if
it's the kind of thing your looking for but I ended up writing my own
integration.  Basically, I'm watching the qpid queue (haven't tried
rabbitmq) for messages related to the creation and deletion of
instances and pushing the data into mysql that powerdns is using as a
backend.  I'm still using dnsmasq for the dhcp.  It's still very much
a work in progress but it 's been working fine in my test environment
for a few weeks now.

If you want, you can give it a try at:  https://github.com/mbroome/openstackdns
