I manage my systems, and all the HamBSD systems, with
Ansible. Some API
would need to be provided to allow me to check the current reverse DNS
record (in the database explicitly, not just by performing a DNS lookup
that may be influenced by caching etc.) and to update the record.
I have that fully working using a collection of scripts, but indeed it would
be convenient when there was an easier and more modern API for it.
As it is now, you can download the zonefiles from an FTP server (or of course
you can do lookups at the master server ampr.org at 44.0.0.1) and compile a
list of updates (using diff between the downloaded- and the desired info) and
then you can create an e-mail message to the ampraddr robot that will do the
updates.
For this to work you have to have your mail sender address whitelisted.
(it used to be an open service until it was abused)
