Call a DHCP server API to provision Mac/IP of a DHCP client VM

[olivierlambert]

1. Fill the VM create page with the MAC (or automac) and the needed IP
2. If IP added on a interface, xo-server will call it's configured DHCP server to put the lease in it
3. The VM is provisionned, next boot it will take the given IP

• install a Smart Proxy in our lab and give the config ( @olivierlambert )
• add extra fields in xo-server ( @julien-f )
• display new fields in xo-web if the DHCP/DNS "plugin" is activated ( @marsaud )

Minimal configuration for a DHCP:

• create/delete/list all IP ranges
• create/remove a record in a range
• bind a range to an interface

https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy seems the good thing to use.

Another approach would be to embed a DNS/DHCP server directly in XO. See:

• https://github.com/sh1mmer/dnsserver.js
• https://github.com/badlee/fun-dns
