Would it be sufficient to you to have a command line tool to run against LDAP top list all existing IP addresses and sort them ? If so this is what I use (assuming a realm called example.com): ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -s one -b "idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com" aRecord 2>/dev/null |grep "^aRecord" |sort Note: You need to be logged in (kinit'ed) with a user that has rights to see the DNS tree.
