RequestForComments: New proposed Ansible module for interacting with ISC DHCPd

Hello fellow automators,

I have written a module that interacts with ISC DHCPd using OMAPI to:

  • Set a host entry
  • Delete a host entry
  • Lookup a lease by IP/MAC
    The motivation for this module was to be able to further automate and streamline our VM provisioning process. Is this module something of interest to Ansible that would have a chance of being accepted into Extras?

Kind Regards,

Even if it doesn't go into Ansible proper, I (and I'm sure others)
would certainly be interested in it.

I would encourage you to submit it. It may take a while to evaluate it for inclusion, though.

I believe there will be enough interest in this, I was using template
module but that might get a bit onerous with scale.

Although it’s a really small/simple module, I would gladly accept any comments/features you would like to see.
