def reverse_zone(network):
"""Reverse a network zone"""
"""
Reverse a network zone
Takes an network object (`ipaddress.IPv4Network` or
`ipaddress.IPv6Network`) as an input and returns a DNS name object
(`dns.name.Name`) corresponding to the reverse DNS entry correctly
formated.
Parameters
----------
network: ipaddress.IPv4Network or ipaddress.IPv6Network
The Network IP and mask object
Return
------
reversed_zone: dns.name.Name
The reverse zone as a DNS Name oject
Examples
--------
>>> # Some IPv4 Networks
>>> net1 = ipaddress.IPv4Network("10.128.12.0/24")
>>> net2 = ipaddress.IPv4Network("10.129.0.0/16")
>>> net3 = ipaddress.IPv4Network("10.0.0.0/8")
>>> # Some IPv6 Networks
>>> net4 = ipaddress.IPv6Network("2001:470:142:3::/64")
>>> net5 = ipaddress.IPv6Network("2001:470:142::/48")
>>> net6 = ipaddress.IPv6Network("2a09:6840::/32")
>>> # And the expected outputs
>>> reverse_zone(net1)
'12.128.10.in-addr.arpa'
>>> reverse_zone(net2)
'129.10.in-addr.arpa'
>>> reverse_zone(net3)
'10.in-addr.arpa'
>>> reverse_zone(net4)
'3.0.0.0.2.4.1.0.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa'
>>> reverse_zone(net5)
'2.4.1.0.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa'
>>> reverse_zone(net6)
'0.4.8.6.9.0.a.2.ip6.arpa'
