Organizing IPs, hostnames and DNS

[Neil Watson]

In previous organizations I've kept track of IPs, hostnames and DNS
entries by using a single hosts file. I used a script (h2n) to convert
the hosts file to DNS entries (BIND). Thus, all information was
available in a single text file. For MS AD servers we had that system's
DNS server simply forward all of its requests to the BIND server.

Now I find myself at another organization. This network is considerably
larger, with more name servers. The control of IPs, hostnames and DNS
entries is somewhat loose. This is starting take its toll.

How do you organize all of your DNS information in order to easily
assign and track all entries?
