Add HostRecord function

[scumola]

This is a feature request.

There are calls for ip_allocation and ARecord, but not HostRecord. I'm guessing that this would be a copy/paste fix I'm guessing, but there's currently no way to add a HOST record, which is kinda important.

The example in the https://github.com/infobloxopen/terraform-provider-infoblox/tree/master/examples/VMware/HostRecord directory doesn't actually add a Host record even though the directory name implies that it does.

[saiprasannasastry]

the host record functionality is there. in the resource ip_allocation block , if you add zone, dns view parameters then it will create a host record . the enable dns flag is to enable dns. The ip allocation block does reservation if no mac address is given, fixed address if mac is given and host record if zone and dns view are given

[scumola]

adding those fields to the block causes a crash

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TERRAFORM CRASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terraform crashed! This is always indicative of a bug within Terraform.
A crash log has been placed at "crash.log" relative to your current
working directory. It would be immensely helpful if you could please
report the crash with Terraform[1] so that we can fix this.

When reporting bugs, please include your terraform version. That
information is available on the first line of crash.log. You can also
get it by running 'terraform --version' on the command line.

Hi, why is this id = "fixedaddress/ZG5zLmZpeGVkX2FkZHJlc3MkMTAuMTIwLjguMjEuMC4u:10.120.8.21/default" given? also please note you can't update a fixed address to a host record. you will need to create a new template probably in a different folder or else terraform will try to update it.
point 2
from what i understand from the previous bugs as well, you have a state file with the resource but that is not there in infoblox, now you are trying to update that to host record. Please correct me if i am wrong. Like i said in previous comments if the resource is deleted from NIOS manually you cant rerun terraform and expect it to create.

[scumola]

The field: fixedaddress/ZG5zLmZpeGVkX2FkZHJlc3MkMTAuMTIwLjguMjEuMC4u:10.120.8.21/default was something that terraform provided that must have been in the state file. My terraform block was:

resource "infoblox_ip_allocation" "demo_allocation"{
  vm_name="test01.domain.com"
  ip_addr = aws_instance.test01.private_ip
  cidr="10.120.0.0/13"
  mac_addr = "00:00:00:00:00:00"
  tenant_id="domain.com"
  zone="domain.com"
  dns_view="Internal"
  enable_dns=false
}

Regarding your second question, the IP address did exist in this case.

Q: How come terraform won't re-create a missing entry that it expects to be there?
Q: How come terraform won't change or delete/create an entry that is changed?
I'm pretty sure that this is common behavior for terraform. I specify what I want as resources and terraform does what's necessary to make that happen. I shouldn't have to go and massage the resources by-hand to make terraform happy.

@saiprasannasastry seems like this issue should be opened again :)
