NamecoinToBind php script v2.2.1

[khal]

=> See last update below


NamecoinToBind is a php script that generates bind zones for .bit domains from the namecoin blockchain by using the name_scan rpc command.
This version supports the original and first spec :
- '{"map": {"": {"ns": ["10.0.0.1"]}}}'
- '{"map": {"": "62.16.239.10"}}'

Here is the code :

I'm working on a new version, designed to support the new domain_spec, but it is far from finished yet. I wanted to wait until the new version was ready to publish it, and that's why i didn't publish this version before.
But, the new version is still at the same point after a long time, so... and midnightmagic asked me the source code, so i finally released it :p (i didn't take the time to make something really clean, sorry for that)

Thanks a lot! I've been wanting to integrate something directly into my BIND servers for quite some time, and this will speed up my efforts considerably.

Yeah, really useful. Could come in handy Thank you!

Version 2.0 has been released on github : https://github.com/khalahan/NamecoinToBind !

This is a full rewrite that, i hope, could manage a lot of domain changes (more modular)
It now supports the new domain spec features (not all yet)

http://namecoin.bitcoin-contact.org (178.32.31.41, one of the public DNS servers) is currently using this new release.

TODO :
------
* Support the following records :
- loc
- service
- delegate
- import
* Improve reference remplacements (https://dot-bit.org/Domain_names#Domain_references & https://dot-bit.org/Domain_names#Sub-domains)
