5log in, see domain list from current group

7-> "current group" includes all subgroups? (hairy SQL)

10logic:
11-> need to pass session ID on every call, otherwise we don't know who we are
12-> should check ACLs on every call in case of changing permissions
13-> should be able to store all webvar bits in the session

39valid records:
40
41nb: wildcards are supported for most types. use with extreme caution! (I don't plan on writing
42tools that will create them.)
43
44.fqdn:ip:x:ttl:timestamp:lo
45 -> x.fqdn is a nameserver at ip, SOA sets x.fqdn as master with hostmaster@fqdn as contact
46 -> if x contains a . that is used as the NS name
47(Not much use for us)
48
49Zfqdn:primary:contact:serial:refresh:retry:expire:minttl:recttl:(timestamp:lo)
50 -> SOA for fqdn
51
52&fqdn:ip:x:ttl:timestamp:lo
53 -> x.fqdn is a nameserver
54 -> if x contains a . that is used as the NS name
55 -> ip may be omitted; A record for fqdn->ip is created otherwise
56
57=fqdn:ip:ttl:timestamp:lo
58 -> A record and matching PTR record with fqdn and ip
59
60+fqdn:ip:ttl:timestamp:lo
61 -> A record
62
63^ptr:fqdn:ttl:timestamp:lo
64 -> PTR record. note ptr must be reverse-IP format ending in .in-addr.arpa
65
66@fqdn:ip:x:dist:ttl:timestamp:lo
67 -> MX. Dist defaults to 0.
68 -> ip may be omitted; A record for fqdn->ip is created otherwise
69
70-fqdn:ip:ttl:timestamp:lo
71 -> ignored
72
73'fqdn:text:ttl:timestamp:lo
74 -> TXT record
75 -> octal-encode special characters in text as \nnn
76
77Cfqdn:name:ttl:timestamp:lo
78 -> CNAME for fqdn pointing to name
79
80:fqdn:n:data:ttl:timestamp:lo
81 -> Generic data, of type n (n is a 16-bit unsigned integer)
82 17 is RP
83 16 is TXT
84 2 (NS), 5 (CNAME), 6 (SOA), 12 (PTR), 15 (MX) and 252 (AXFR) (WTF?) should not be used
85 -> data must use octal escapes for : or nondisplayable characters. axfr-get seems to escape all
86 non-alphanumerics, therefore so will we.
87
88two primary groups of data:
89-> forward zones
90 -> local master zones
91 -> local slave zones
92-> reverse zones
93- note that it would be really nice to eliminate duplicated A records (+domain.com:ip:: plus =domain.com:ip::)
94
95operations:
96-> import zone data (BIND*, djbdns, vegadns-mysql)
97 -> allow overwrite of existing SOA
98-> export data (BIND*, djbdns)
99-> add zone/domain
100 -> as slave
101 -> as master
102-> delete zone/domain
103-> add record to domain
104-> remove record from domain
105-> change record
106 -> A record IP
107 -> CNAME destination
108 -> MX destination
109 -> MX priority
110 -> A <-> CNAME ?
111 -> flag record as "primary" A record for an IP (means that PTR will set that name as rDNS)
112-> force propagation (execute propagation script)
113-> User ACL fiddling:
114 -> take IPDB model, include groups/delegation/etc
115 "admin" -> nominally full access to anything/everything
116 "staff" -> general access to all domains, can create users and delegate domains to them
117 "bulk hoster" -> customer with more than one domain, (can create users and delegate domains to them)?
118 "user" -> customer with one domain
119
120
121recommended SOA/TTL/etc times:
122refresh 86400 (24h), retry 7200 (2h), expire 2592000 (30d), ttl 345600 (4d)
123
124Qs re: new servers:
125-> IPs for cache/authoritative?
126
127
128flow of data:
129user input -> database -> local "zone" data -> rsync/scp to slaves
130
131don't use "domain ID" goop; its only advantage is slightly lower disk use. otherwise it's more
132complicated, less traceable thru the DB manually
133
134
135db structure (current)
136
137domains:
138| domain_id | int(11) | | MUL | NULL | auto_increment |
139| domain | varchar(100) | | | | |
140| group_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
141| description | varchar(255) | | | | |
142| status | enum('active','inactive') | | | inactive | |
143
144records:
145| domain_id | int(11) | | MUL | 0 | |
146| record_id | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
147| host | varchar(100) | | | | |
148| type | char(1) | YES | | NULL | |
149| val | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
150| distance | int(4) | YES | | 0 | |
151| weight | int(4) | YES | | NULL | | - for SRV only
152| port | int(4) | YES | | NULL | | - for SRV only
153| ttl | int(11) | | | 86400 | |
154| description | varchar(255) | | | | |
155
156default_records is a duplicate of records structurally
157
158log: (not sure how useful this really is, in this form...)
159| domain_id | int(11) | | | 0 | |
160| user_id | int(11) | | | 0 | |
161| group_id | int(11) | | | 0 | |
162| email | varchar(60) | | | | |
163| name | varchar(60) | | | | |
164| entry | varchar(200) | | | | |
165| time | int(11) | | | 0 | |
166
167db structure (proposed)
168
169domains:
170domain char(128) pk, indexed
171group char(32) fk, indexed?
172status enum?
173masterns char(64)
174email char(128)
175serial long int (needs 2^32 at least)
176refresh long int needs semi-sane default
177retry long int needs semi-sane default
178expire long int needs semi-sane default
179minttl long int needs semi-sane default
180ctime timestamp
181mtime timestamp
182
183records:
184recid serial
185domain char(128) fk, indexed?
186host char(128) pk, indexed
187type enum?
188val char(256) to allow for 255-char TXT records
189extra char(10) 10 should be enough to express any needs for MX, SRV, or anything else...right?
190ttl long int
191ctime timestamp
192mtime timestamp
193
194default records to be either database-coded as default values or coded in er, code.
195-> hrm.
196 database-level defaults are "recommended practice" according to the cricket book
197 code-level defaults may be hardcoded (easy) or loaded from a config file (harder, but cleaner)
198 all must be overrideable by a database-table-stored "local policy defaults" widget
199
200add domain:
201 -> need domain name
202 -> IP/"company default" radio button pair, with some Javascript to change defaults for:
203 -> radio buttons with sane defaults for standard hosts (www/mail/ftp/smtp)
204 -> www CNAME @
205 -> FTP CNAME @
206 -> mail CNAME mail.company.com
207 -> smtp CNAME smtp.company.com
208 -> MX defaults to <mxlist>
