Base module for DNS infrastructure

This module adds a new "Infrastructure DNS" application area to Odoo for keeping a manual inventory of domain names and their DNS records.

Under "Zones And Records" you find "Domain Zone" and "Domain Records". A domain zone holds the domain name, an optional parent domain (so sub-domains can be nested), the owner contact, a renewal date and a status (Draft, Production, Exception, Inactive). The full domain name is built automatically from the name and the parent domain, and it is checked to be a valid domain; an invalid one is refused. Zones also support chatter messages and activities, and can be archived.

Each zone lists its DNS records. A record needs a domain, a record type, a value and a TTL (default 60 seconds). The record name is computed automatically from the domain, the type code and the value. If the record type defines a validation rule, the value is checked against it and an error is raised when it does not match.

Under "Configuration" you manage "DNS Record Type". Each type has a name, a code, a help text shown on records and an optional validation rule. Standard types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, PTR, SRV, SPF, NAPTR and NS are provided with examples.

Contacts gain a "Domain Zones" tab listing the zones they own. Two access groups exist: DNS User (read only) and DNS Manager (full create, edit and delete).
