ABANDONED - Python tool for testing DNS changes (add, remove, rename, change records) against a staging DNS server, verifying the same changes against production, or confirming that a record returns the same result in both environments.
At some point in the past, an IP was reused and the PTR was updated, but the old A record was removed. We want to test removing the old A record. The PTR record test fails.
In essence, we have:
newhost IN A 1.1.1.1
oldhost IN A 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1.IN-ADDR.ARPA. IN PTR newhost
We want to test removing the oldhost A record. But unless we disable reverse validation, it will fail the automatic PTR record check, even though the PTR points to a valid A record other than the one being removed.
