pfSense DNS Forwarder Batch Host Creation

PfSense DNS Batch Creation

<?php
// pfSense PHP script to generate a range of DNS forwarder hosts based on
// "dot${lastoctet}", eg. 192.0.2.100 == dot100.example.com
// Open terminal, run "php" copy/paste script with the following defines tweaked
// Ctrl-D, wait a moment until you see "Content-type: text/html"
// Open the DNS config in the web UI and click Apply Changes 

define('DOT_DOMAIN', 'example.com');
define('DOT_SUBNET', '192.0.2.'); // Leave off the final octet, include the dot
define('DOT_RANGE_START', 100);
define('DOT_RANGE_STOP', 200);
