>>> Or is there any way in openstack i can implement dynamic dns in openstack.

If you want your VM's to automatically get a DNS entry, I have a MyDNS
add-on that can do it.  MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a database
instead of zone files.

You just have to pick a domain or subdomain, and then make a union
between the standard MyDNS RR table and the Openstack instances table.  I made
a .deb of it that includes MyDNS and documentation on how to create the union,
you can grab it at:

http://knm.org/mydns-mysql_1.2.8.31_amd64.deb

I was planning to update it for Grizzly and I also wanted to maybe try PowerDNS,
but I have been using this system since May and it works pretty well.  Let me know
if you have any questions.
