Open Stack

Hi Graham,

As ever, many thanks for clarifying that. And I shall put in a feature
request as you suggest.

In the meantime, presumably the missing pieces that I need are those
described in:

    https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/networking-guide/config-dns-int.html

under

    'Configuring OpenStack Networking for integration with an external
DNS service'.

and covering:

    [default]
    external_dns_driver = designate

    [designate]
    url = .... etc ....

Kind regards, Lawrence
