DNSRecord module

Description

The dnsrecord module allows management of DNS records and is as compatible as possible with the Ansible upstream ipa_dnsrecord module, but provide some other features like multiple record management in one execution and support for more DNS record types.

Features

DNS record management.

    ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
    name: host01
    zone_name: example.com

      zone_name: example.com
      record_type: AAAA
      record_value: ::1

Example playbook to ensure multiple CNAME records are present:

---
- name: Ensure that 'host03' and 'host04' have CNAME records.
  ipadnsrecord:
