If you haven’t heard of it, Infoblox is making appliances and solutions for enterprise networks. One of them is the Infoblox Trinzic DDI<\/a>\u00a0which manages DNS, DHCP and IPAM.<\/p>\n

Infoblox does not seem to have any plans for delivering a PowerShell module for managing their product, which is a bit weird since it would probably make it a bit easier for network admins trying to move windows engineers away from Active Directory Integrated DNS, and instead let the Infoblox appliance host\u00a0all or some of their zones (which seems to be a common enough debate among enterprises).
\nBut in their defence they have released a REST-based API<\/a> for this appliance which enables administrators to basically build whatever tools they want to manage anything from DNS records to IPAM.<\/p>\n
