Ipreg2
Got Ipreg2 about half rolled out today. The dhcpd.conf file on loki is now being generated from settings in a DB and from a php script. Tomorrow I will add registrations to that and have students in BW start registering. After that Pat and I have to change quite a few apps over to using some new shared classes that wrap around all this.
Ideas for Ipreg2 have been boiling in my head for about a year and a half. It’s nice to get some really good code and DB design out. The new design will make it very easy to change stuff around. New DNS server IP? Change a DB entry. New hall comes online? Add an row to a DB. One hall gets free leases instead of having to register? Change a DB line.
Oh, and there will be a simple web UI to change all that…
Oh, and DNS zone files for our entire network can now be generated at the touch of a button, straight from a DB.
