Hey Openstack-Discuss, apart from the standardized and auto-created records for ports / floating-ips and instances (https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/admin/config-dns-int.html) - is there any way to allow users to add their own records which then only resolve internally? The Neutron API (https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/network/v2/#id52) seems to be all about the resources it manages, so no additional or custom records there. Looking at the Designate API https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/dns/?expanded=create-zone-detail#create-zone is does not seem to be an option to mark a zone as "internal" or "private". But maybe there is another way to add records to the internal zone? I am thinking of an only internally resolvable / valid DNS zone carrying records for i.e. service discovery / cluster forming. There are more and more tools just looking up a DNS records to find cluster members ... * ElasticSearch: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-hosts-providers.html#settings-based-hosts-provider * Hazelcast: https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast-kubernetes#understanding-discovery-modes * HiveMQ: https://github.com/hivemq/hivemq-dns-cluster-discovery-extension/blob/master/README.adoc#configuration * RabbitMQ: https://www.rabbitmq.com/cluster-formation.html#peer-discovery-dns [...] and with Kubernetes and the headless service concept there are more tools (ab)using DNS for this every week. So having internal dns zones which only resolve within the project would be really helpful.
