Re: [RFC] IP Address Generators

Hello everyone! I'm sending a proposal we might have already discussed at some point. At the moment, it is required to write some specific IP addresses to the recipes' configuration section to each interface. This is usually not a problem, but theoretically, there can be collisions with addresses you use somewhere else (for instance in the controller network or to connect your slaves to the internet or whatever). This could be problem particularly when we start building a large library of these recipes. We could make the recipes even more portable by leting the LNST controller chose which address to assign to different interfaces. We could do this by adding a special value to the address value field, which should be very easy to implement: <addresses> <address value="auto"/> </addresses> In this case, the parser would resolve it to a valid ip address within some pool that was allocated to the network segment the interface is plugged into. We could then maybe add an address type and more: <addresses> <address value="auto" type="ipv6"/> </addresses> Any feedback is appreciated :).
