Carnegie Mellon's NetReg <http://www.net.cmu.edu/netreg> (*) is an open source system that provides a pretty complete IP Address Management toolset, including management of DNS & DHCP configurations for ISC bind/dhcpd. We manage DNS & DHCP for 50K machines, and NetReg does it all. It is available under an OSS license and is in use at several other locations. NetReg provides a self service web interface with flexible permissions, privilege delegation, IP address space management, DNS record validation, and more. As the current primary developer of the system I'm a bit biased, but I think its a great system. It has a steep learning curve, and the documentation leaves something to be desired (like a tech writer...), but once you hit a certain scale the benefits outway the cost. On our site you'll find several screen shots and a working demo with some base data you can experiment with, but obviously the full power of the system isn't utilized until you have lots of data and can see the resulting zones & config files. There is an active mailing list, feel free to join it and ask questions. *: Not to be confused with Southwestern University's NetReg, which is a completely different system developed in parallel around the same time. -David Nolan Network Software Designer Computing Services Carnegie Mellon University
