Thanks, so i didnt just overlook the feature.

So will now look into adding data of new 'cobbler system'
objects to a ldap.  Once that host-object exists i have to query
if the subnet is already there as a separate object in the ldap.
Will also use this to store several attributes in that subnet-
ldap-object and let the hosts in that subnet inherit the attributes
when they get deployed by cobbler.
For new subnets that objects gets created in the ldap an in the
dhcp.template .
