Description
-----------

This script adds (and removes) dns records based on IPSec peers and their
dynamic addresses from mode-config.

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Just install the script:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate ipsec-to-dns;

This script is run from scheduler:

    /system/scheduler/add interval=1m name=ipsec-to-dns on-event="/system/script/run ipsec-to-dns;" start-time=startup;

Configuration
-------------

On first run a disabled static dns record acting as marker (with comment
"`--- ipsec-to-dns above ---`") is added. Move this entry to define where new
entries are to be added.

The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:

* `Domain`: the domain used for dns records
* `HostNameInZone`: whether or not to add the ipsec/dns server's hostname
* `PrefixInZone`: whether or not to add prefix `ipsec`

> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
> [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.
