Hi Alasdair,
If you have about 10k devices, do you have some existing database/spreadsheet/etc of ips and device names?
You could mangle this and dump it into a dns zone, making sure it keep it updated.

We are a WISP with around 10k devices.
Currently we do most of our monitoring with software which does not care about DNS and works via IP.
I have begun playing with Observium and really like. In order to have the freedom to add devices to our Observium instance at will, we will have to level up our DNS game massively.
What solutions do people currently use to register hardware with DNS at the time of deployment? Is it possible for a DNS server to discover hardware (based on IP ranges we give it) and query for hostnames then add them to the database? Thanks Guys
