4.5.6. Reverse DNS

class dyn.tm.services.reversedns.ReverseDNS(zone, fqdn, *args, **kwargs)

A DynECT ReverseDNS service

__init__(zone, fqdn, *args, **kwargs)

Create an new ReverseDNS object instance

Parameters:

• zone – The zone under which this service will be attached
• fqdn – The fqdn where this service will be located
• hosts – A list of Hostnames of the zones where you want to track records
• netmask – A netmask to match A/AAAA rdata against. Matched records will get PTR records, any others won’t
• ttl – TTL for the created PTR records. May be omitted, explicitly specified, set to ‘default’, or ‘match’
• record_types – A list of which type of records this service will track. Note: Both A and AAAA can not be monitored by the same service

activate()

active

Indicates whether or not the service is active. When setting directly, rather than using activate/deactivate valid arguments are ‘Y’ or True to activate, or ‘N’ or False to deactivate. Note: If your service is already active and you try to activate it, nothing will happen. And vice versa for deactivation.

Returns:An Active object representing the current state of this ReverseDNS Service

deactivate()

iptrack_id

The unique System id for this service. This is a read-only property.

netmask

4.5.6.1. Reverse DNS Examples

The following examples highlight how to use the ReverseDNS class to get/create ReverseDNS‘s on the dyn.tm System and how to edit these objects from within a Python script.

4.5.6.1.1. Creating a new Reverse DNS Service

The following example shows how to create a new ReverseDNS on the dyn.tm System and how to edit some of the fields using the returned ReverseDNS object.

>>> from dyn.tm.services.reversedns import ReverseDNS
>>> # Create a dyn.tmSession
>>> # Assuming you own the zone 'example.com'
>>> rdns = ReverseDNS('example.com', 'example.com.', ['example.com],
...                   '127.0.0.0/8')
>>> rdns.deactivate()
>>> rdns.active
u'N'

4.5.6.1.2. Getting an Existing Reverse DNS Service

The following example shows how to get an existing ReverseDNS from the dyn.tm System and how to edit some of the same fields mentioned above.

>>> from dyn.tm.services.reversedns import ReverseDNS
>>> # Create a dyn.tmSession
>>> # Once again, assuming you own 'example.com'
>>> rdns = ReverseDNS('example.com', 'example.com.', my_rdns_id)
