Dear All,

Has anyone implemented ou=Hosts in their ldap infrastructure? I am planning to implement this for inventory tracking. Here is a sample attributes I am planning to add to it.

dn: cn=ldap.example.com,ou=Host,dc=example,dc=com
hostName: ldap.example.com
hostClass: UtilityServers
hostStatus: live
hostPriority: High
hostSerial: KH9890HLXC
macAddress: 00:09:89:67:L7:8S
ipAddress: 192.168.10.28
IpAddress: 192.168.10.29
ipSubnet: 255.255.0.0
description: Corporate LDAP server
team: unixAdminTeam
contactPerson: Prashanth

What I am trying to do: I want to keep this DB up-to-date and show these items on INTRANET page. 

I am looking for other use case scenarios for implementing this. Anyone has any suggestions/opinions for this?

Related Info about OU=Hosts
I read in LDAP System Administration book(by Gerald Carter) about being able to resolve hosts using LDAP i.e refer LDAP as backend DB for DNS(bind 9 only).  He talks about ‘Zone2ldap’ to convert the DNS zone file to a format like this RelativeDomainName=<hostname>,dc=example,dc=com
