Our team will address an area of Network Management, namely, that of DNS and 
DHCP in a large-scale enterprise environment. This aspect was chosen due to 
the relatively limited choices a company has when trying to choose and roll out
a DNS/DHCP solution that has low management overhead, as well as a large, 
useful feature set.

The goal of this project is to create an open-source alternative to an 
existing proprietary solution for DNS and DHCP provisioning. We intend to 
functionally link existing open-source DNS and DHCP products by implementing a 
dynamic DNS relationship. In addition, we will create a PHP-based web 
administration tool which will reference a common database shared with 
server-side scripts that handle the task of recreating configurations for the 
DNS and DHCP servers.


Our solution would be used by network and systems administrators looking to 
manage IP and DNS space on their networks, whether they are small or large in 
scale. Since it is web-based, not only is it platform-independent, but it is 
accessable from any workstation with web access. It should also be able to 
integrate with a network registration system to aid administrators in 
referencing user information based on previously collected data.
