Hi,

I am a PhD student working on the management of cloud computing. I am trying
to provide a lookup function for the PROCESS ID (pid) of a VM running on a
physical host.

Thus I am planning to propose a new type (in addition to A, CNAME, MX etc)
in the zone file, such as the following:

vm01 IN PR xx.xx.xx.xx!pid

where:

vm01 = virtual machine's hostname
PR = is the new type (means PROCESS)
The answer is: xx.xx.xx.xx!pid
where
xx.xx.xx.xx = physical host's IP address
pid = the process ID that runs vm01


I have scanned through the source codes and I guess there are plenty of
modifications that I need to do. This will be my first time in modifying a
huge program such as Bind.

Therefore, would anyone be so kind to guide me in modifying the source
codes?

For e.g.
Step 1: define new struct in lib/dns/master.c
Step 2: ...

Thank you for your kind assistance.

Best regards.
