Best away to retrieve HostRecords in a zone with their addresses

I am using API v2 to retrieve all RR in a zone.I use the call “/api/v2/zones/<id>/resourceRecords”In parsing the output, in the case of TXT, SRV, Generic Records I get directly the rdata in the json() .But in case of a HostRecord I need to use the json()[‘data’]['_links']['addresses']['href'] to make an additional API call to get the actual IPv4 addresses of the RR.Problem: I am dealing with a huge zone ( > 300’000 entries), and this takes a long time…..Is there a way to retrieve directly with a single API call the RR of a zone with all the data, kind of a dump of a zone?

Building DNS GSLB with BlueCat From the beginning, we knew that building a DNS-based Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) solution required more than just engineering—we needed real-world insight from the people who run the networks every day. So we turned to you, our community!Through surveys and feedback from over 50 organizations across industries and geographies, you helped us zero in on what matters: the importance of prioritizing DNS responses based on network topology and health check results, the need for flexible support of both external and internal services, and the growing demand for compatibility with hybrid-cloud environments. You confirmed what we suspected – DNS reliability, integration, and performance is impacted on how close we are to the network edge – but the cost of GSLB is the biggest barrier to making this a true reality. We believe that Edge Service Points can solve that problem for DNS GSLB!We already know powerful, practical ways you're doing DNS GSLB with an

Global Server Selector Custom Healtchecks

Hi Community, we are planning to implement the Global Server Selector and as of now i’m wondering how the custom healthchecks are working. We can archive what we need we the onboard healthchecks but I’m curious how the custom healthchecks are working since it is no where described how to really implement one. Has anybody already implemented a custom healthcheck and can share more insights on them? Thx

Getting started with the Micetro REST API

I’m often asked when I speak to customers and prospects about how to use the Micetro REST API. Hopefully this little guide will help…Getting started with Micetro APIs Some background on the various APIs that Micetro supports for automationhttps://docs.menandmice.com/en/latest/guides/user-manual/automation/Public link to REST/SOAP API documentation for all Micetro versionshttps://api.menandmice.com/Although all APIs continue to be supported it’s recommended going forward that customers focus on the REST API Swagger InterfaceMicetro includes a swagger interface which as well as documenting the REST API also allows you to test and try out API calls. This can be accessed by appending /mmws/api/doc/ to your Micetro web gui. Eg:http[s]://micetro.yourdomain.tld/mmws/api/docMicetro swaggerStarting with version 11.1 we now support Bearer tokens. Follow the link to sessions Eg:Fill out your credentials then click execute –Then click on authorise and copy the session returned in the response body

Blocking inherited 'allow MAC Pool'

I set a list of ‘allow MAC Pool’ for a block, but for one specific network I want an open DHCP range. I cannot figure out how to block the inherited ‘allow MAC Pool’s, or set an ‘allow any’. I really don’t want to have to copy and maintain a list of ‘allow MAC Pool’s on every network individually.

Gateway / BSUS

Has anyone gotten BSUS working on PodMan. We are not wanting to install Docker CE becuase our server team does not support Redhat Unix and Docker any more. We have moved everything to Oracle Linix and PodMan. So far the repomse from Bluecat is that they do not know if BSUS would work on PodMan and that it wouldn;t be supported. They have not tested the application that configuration.
