Multiple hostnames under the dns_name field

[mochipon]

I would like to double-check the direction of this project regarding #4197. I have read the contributing guide and the issue intake policy, but please excuse me if this is an inappropriate question.

I am maintaining sukiyaki/octodns-netbox, which allows us to properly manage DNS records across multiple providers based on NetBox data. At first I used the description field as a place to store comma-separated FQDNs, but since NetBox now has a dns_name field, I have received several PRs (sukiyaki/octodns-netbox#1, sukiyaki/octodns-netbox#2) to take advantage of this.

By the discussion at #4197, I understand that any enhancements for storing multiple FQDNs in the dns_field field will not be allowed forever, is this correct?

I have found that a wildcard record has been implemented recently. This appears to be a deviation (extension) of the rule of "hold a single name only", at least conceptually. In addition, it appears that this enhancement, despite being passed over at one time #4973, was considered again at the suggestion of the community #8785.

Therefore, I would like to know if there are any possibility of enhancements to the dns_name field to decide the direction of my project. Thank you!

The stance likely isn't changing.

That said, there is at least 1 plugin for managing DNS in netbox.
