Rafael Guterres Jeffman 46bbc7bbd7 Document usage of name_from_ip.
Since `name_from_ip` has a similar, but not equal, behavior to `name`,
and as the inferred DNS zone might depend on DNS configuration and
can be different than the user expects, it has some limited usage,
and the user must be aware of its effects.

This change to the documentation enhance the documentation including
more details on the attribute usage.

DNSZone Module
==============
Description
-----------
The dnszone module allows to configure zones in DNS server.
Features
--------
* Add, remove, modify, enable or disable DNS zones.
Supported FreeIPA Versions
--------------------------
FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by ipadnszone module.
Requirements
------------
**Controller**
* Ansible version: 2.8+
**Node**
* Supported FreeIPA version (see above)
Usage
-----
```ini
[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local
```
Example playbook to create a simple DNS zone:
```yaml
---
- name: dnszone present
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Ensure zone is present.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: testzone.local
state: present
```
Example playbook to create a DNS zone with all currently supported variables:
```yaml
---
- name: dnszone present
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Ensure zone is present.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: testzone.local
allow_sync_ptr: true
dynamic_update: true
dnssec: true
allow_transfer:
- 1.1.1.1
- 2.2.2.2
allow_query:
- 1.1.1.1
- 2.2.2.2
forwarders:
- ip_address: 8.8.8.8
- ip_address: 8.8.4.4
port: 52
serial: 1234
refresh: 3600
retry: 900
expire: 1209600
minimum: 3600
ttl: 60
default_ttl: 90
name_server: ipaserver.test.local.
admin_email: admin.admin@example.com
nsec3param_rec: "1 7 100 0123456789abcdef"
skip_overlap_check: true
skip_nameserver_check: true
state: present
```
Example playbook to disable a zone:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to disable DNS zone
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Disable zone.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: testzone.local
state: disabled
```
Example playbook to enable a zone:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to enable DNS zone
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Enable zone.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: testzone.local
state: enabled
```
Example playbook to remove a zone:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to remove DNS zone
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Remove zone.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: testzone.local
state: absent
```
Example playbook to create a zone for reverse DNS lookup, from an IP address:
```yaml
---
- name: dnszone present
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Ensure zone for reverse DNS lookup is present.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name_from_ip: 192.168.1.2
state: present
```
Note that, on the previous example the zone created with `name_from_ip` might be "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.", "168.192.in-addr.arpa.", or "192.in-addr.arpa.", depending on the DNS response the system get while querying for zones, and for this reason, when creating a zone using `name_from_ip`, the inferred zone name is returned to the controller, in the attribute `dnszone.name`. Since the zone inferred might not be what a user expects, `name_from_ip` can only be used with `state: present`. To have more control over the zone name, the prefix length for the IP address can be provided.
Example playbook to create a zone for reverse DNS lookup, from an IP address, given the prefix length and displaying the resulting zone name:
```yaml
---
- name: dnszone present
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Ensure zone for reverse DNS lookup is present.
ipadnszone:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name_from_ip: 192.168.1.2/24
state: present
register: result
- name: Display inferred zone name.
debug:
msg: "Zone name: {{ result.dnszone.name }}"
```
