A web application for managing static IP addresses on a private network.

Banchi is meant to handle allocating IP addresses for boxes on a network based on requirements for vlans of the box and allow a universal interface for retrieving the information for various reasons.

Banchi uses a RESTful API with the various endpoints being defined via the JSON response for the root route. Everything should be discoverable from these routes.

There is a planned CLI that allows for most of the operations to be performed via the command line, either through single commands or by dropping into a subshell that allows for step by step operations.

A backend for the hiera lookup system used by Puppet to allow for the information allocation to be used within puppet without having to generate large data files.

A web frontend to allow for a more graphical/dashboard like interaction with the data, including visualizations or more complex operations.

Have the application act as a DNS server using the requesting IP to determine which IP endpoint to return for a requested hostname (so a request from one vlan will return the corresponding IP for the hostname on that vlan, and a request from another vlan will return a different IP associated with its vlan).
