List RackSpace Cloud DNS Record ID For Specific Domain
Recently I was looking to obtain a couple specific DNS record ID’s for domains with DNS hosted in the RackSpace Cloud so I could use the information to interact with RackSpace Instances through RightScale. Various RightScale ServerTemplates such as the MySQL Cluster ServerTemplates require you to enter the exact DNS record ID as RightScale Inputs for the ServerTemplate. I am not sure why the record ID’s are not listed in a column in the RackSpace Cloud DNS management interface but regardless the below method of querying the RackSpace API make it fairly easy to obtain them regardless.
