dynutil

Use this utility to manage DNS records (A, MX, CNAME, DSF, Redirect) on Dyn Managed DNS. This utility can list, update, create and delete records.

How do I use it?

First, create a credentials file

For example:

$ cat ~/dyncreds.yml
---
customer_name: examplecust
user_name: exampleuser
password: examplepass

Next, issue a command

• Listing records:

  $ python dynutil.py -c ~/dyncreds.yml -t a -o list -z example.com
  - recordset:
      records:
      - example.org: 1.1.1.1
      - www.example.com: 1.1.1.1
      type: a
      zone: example.com
  

• Updating records:

  $ python dynutil.py -c ~/dyncreds.yml -t a -o update -z example.com -n ns -v 4.4.2.2
  

• Creating records:

  $ python dynutil.py -c ~/dyncreds.yml -t a -o create -z example.com -n ns2 -v 8.8.8.8
  

• Deleting records:

  $ python dynutil.py -c ~/dyncreds.yml -t a -o delete -z example.com -n ns2
