How to create mulitple managed records for the same IP address?

[abhi1693]

I have public IP in a VRF and it services 3 different domains on it. I'm able to map 1 of them using the dns_name field but I'm unable to figure out how to do the same for the other 2 domains?

HI @abhi1693, short answer: Manually, or via a custom scripting mechanism. The plugin currently has no means to assign multiple different FQDNs to one IP address automatically.

The main reason is trivial: The IPAddressmodel isn't prepared for it. There is one dns_name, and any mapping to multiple names would require using custom fields (and, as there is no sensible custom field type for arrays, parsing whatever format would be used for them). The solution in any case would be quite ugly.

The mirror zone approach (see the discussion in #468) has some shortcomings, too: You could use different domain names, but the host label would always be the same.

I see the problem, but so far didn't find a satisfactory solution to it, especially one that integrates with ipam.IPAddress in a reasonably transparent way. It's definitely not off the table, but it's not trivial either. For the time being, consider using CNAMEs for the 2nd and all following host names.
