With John Eckersberg's recent patch (and likely future extensions), Cobbler will be acquiring very good support for bind, so Cobbler can manage DHCP and DNS at the same time using more scalable tools. Similarly, we can now manage DHCP without restarts (Pablo Iranzo Gomez's patch). So then, I'm wondering what are the reasons we would have for continuing to support dnsmasq?

If you would be affected by removal of dnsmasq support, I'd like to hear from you, as to why you would like it to stay in place. This does not neccessarily eliminate the ability to have seperate options in Cobbler for (more modular) DHCP/DNS choices in the future. (Likely this is something we could use /etc/cobbler/modules.conf for).


I use dnsmasq to handle the DNS for my internal server network and let
cobbler manage it. Saves me headache.

I have used bind before, and if the support is there I could probably make
the switch back, but I'd recommend getting it in for lots of testing before
removing dnsmasq support.

One idea that came up on IRC and that I've been thinking about is to use the cobbler/modules.conf system to select the DNS types, and move the DHCP/DNS code into the cobbler modules directory. This would allow cleaning up a lot of the underlying infrastructure and still keeping this around.

Still, more feedback welcome... as I'm curious as to how widely this is being used (and also how
high dnsmasq is scaling)

Thanks!
