This program creates nameserver configuration files for secondary name servers based on configuration fetched via Infoblox WAPI.

The following nameserver formats are supported:

• ISC BIND
• NLnet Labs NSD
• Knot DNS

Development of this software was sponsored by AddPro AB.

This program is available via PyPI and the latest version may be install using the following command:

pip install wapi2nsconf

This package uses Poetry for packaging and dependency management. To build a wheel, use:

poetry build

The following default configuration templates are provided:

• bind.conf
• knot.conf
• nsd.conf

The configuration file is written in YAML. Example configuration can be found below.

wapi:
  endpoint: https://infoblox.example.com/wapi/v2.5
  version: 2.5          # optional (guessed from endpoint URL)
  username: username
  password: password
  check_hostname: True  # default True
  verify: True          # default True
  ca_bundle: ca.pem     # optional

The IPAM filters configures what view to use to find zones. Zones can also be filtered based on name server groups (ns_groups) and external attribute (key/value). There's a logic OR between ns_groups and extattr_key, so a zone is include if it is qualified by any of these options. If the extattr_value is configured, the extattr_key must have this value. If not specified, any value of extattr_key is accepted.

ipam:
  view: default
  ns_groups:
    - "Group1"
    - "Group2"
  extattr_key: "foo"
  extattr_value: "bar"

masters:
  - ip: 10.0.0.1
    tsig: tsig.example.com

The output section defines what configuration files to output. Each output is created using a template, output file and an optionally set of variables (defined per template).

output:

  - template: knot.conf
    filename: knot.conf
    variables:
      master_base: infoblox
      template_id: infoblox
      storage: /var/lib/knot/zones

  - template: nsd.conf
    filename: nsd.conf
    variables:
      storage_prefix: ""

  - template: bind.conf
    filename: bind.conf
    variables:
      master: infoblox
      storage_prefix: /var/named/infoblox/
