#41 new enhancement

Add flag table for deciding which blocks have rDNS RPC actions done

Description

Rather than hope and pray that all netblocks can and will have rDNS trackable and manageable in the IPDB, add a table recording which ranges/blocks should show the rDNS field and make the necessary RPC calls. This allows a more gradual transition from other management of rDNS to IPDB-propagated changes.

Start fine-tuning flag storage for deciding if we can/should do an RPC
call for rDNS. See #41.

  • Tweak getBlockData with an additional JOIN to fill in the revavailable and revpartial fields. The dnsavail table maps various larger-than-/24 parents to sets of actual /24 reverse zones (should work fine with /16 too) to let eg suitable sets of /29 blocks in a /22 make RPC calls or not, depending on which /24 the allocation is in.
  • Add bypass return in mergeBlocks() based on revavailable or revpartial being set on the allocation. For now this is just a simple yes/no; future changes could do more complex things depending on which one was set how.

rDNS call management wrapup. See #41, #1.

Wrap almost all existing RPC calls in suitable barriers so we don't try
to make changes for IP blocks not in dnsadmin:

  • Add new allocation (any type - note, may not handle edge case of a multizone block well or at all)
  • Allocation update
  • Split block
  • Shrink block
  • Delete allocation (arguably this could be done unconditionally)

Note an exception to skipping rDNS changes when deleting a master block.

Fix a minor logic bug in getBlockRDNS; return the cached value and leave
the cached flag set if nothing was retrieved. This seems marginally less
wrong than retrieving nothing and unsetting the flag.

Update addMaster() to insert reference records in dnsavail table. See #41.

Refine "rDNS-is-available?" flags and how they're generated in
getBlockData(). See #41.

(In [758]) /trunk

Refine calls to getBlockData() in allocateBlock() and updateBlock() for
proper sourcing and handling of rDNS-is-available flags. See #1, #41.

Further refine new install and 2.7-3.0 upgrade SQL to support multiple
copies of the same reverse zone in different VRFs that use different
DNS views. See #41.
