Feature request: PTR records

[jermudgeon]

Updating PTR records for A and AAAA records would be a tremendously useful feature.

This could become a more in-depth change to the overall structure, since the key map would need to be changed for ptr records, but this should also be achievable. I'm thinking again this could be flag controlled, since other people using this script might not want that feature to exist by default. I may consider providing a control structure to allow for this script to port any kind of record, instead of just A and TxT records like it currently does.

Other kinds of records could be useful, but would definitely require more logic. (CNAME handling, for example.) I'm leery enough of netbox' DNS support overall... but having valid PTR records are a huge driver of automation for me.

I think it also depends on the use-cases. This script was originally for a very specific use case, so there would need more planning to expand the scope like how you're suggesting. Just need to determine where the line is drawn with how the script is modified.

For instance, the script was only designed to handle A records, so a redesign would need to consider a modular approach to handling new types of records, since it would be too much work to initially add support for every record type. I would need to abstract the concepts I developed, and then add support for others to add in their desired functionality via GitHub.
