[Maintain] Trouble creating range

[Fox, Sam P]

I'm having trouble creating a range in Maintain 3.1. I've followed the
directions and added and enabled a new IP block. After creating the
subnet, I try to add the range as a static range (we aren't using DHCP
for this IP block) and I get a form error:



Please review the following error(s) below.

Overfill Multiplier



Here's the problem: This is a static range so I can't edit the Overfill
Multiplier value because it's grayed out. I'm not even sure what this
multiplier value is for. Also, if anyone can tell me what data type is
used to store the host ip in the database, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm writing a perl script to import hosts from our BIND zone files and I
need to know what data format I should convert the IP into.



THANKS!!

Sam,
The overfill multiplier is a variable for dynamic ranges that allows more host than should fit to be added, with the
assumption that not all will be connected at once. That it won't allow you to add a static range without the overfill is a bug.
The hosts are stored in the database with their IPs in long integer form, using the php function ip2long().

Sam,
Yes, it looks like the issue has indeed been fixed in SVN.
-Kevin

Thanks Kevin! Has this bug been addressed yet with a nightly release?
I haven't installed SVN on this box yet because it has soooo many
dependencies. I've been waiting for a 3.1.1 or similar but haven't seen
anything posted on the maintain page.
Regards,
Sam Fox

I?m writing a perl script to import hosts from our BIND zone files and I
need to know what data format I should convert the IP into.

The install/sql/maintain.sql file is a very handy resource for helping
you figure out what data goes where, in what format.

I've been throwing together a fairly patchy module to import DNS domains
and subdomains into Maintain (because I am that impatient sometimes),
mostly to test that it can correctly export the data for multiple
(Maintain) domains (BIND zones). If anyone would care to look at
https://lauren.uwaterloo.ca/repos/maintain3/modules/dns_import/, I'd
appreciate any feedback on how to do a better job.

Thanks Dawn! I'll check it out and let you know- hopefully I'll have
some time to work on this before Thanksgiving.
