Does anyone out there have any experience with a script, tool or appliance that would help manage the creation and

We'd like to move toward this practice to help with troubleshooting and IPAM, but it's not feasible to do it manually. At a 
minimum, I was mulling over the idea of writing a script that would poll a device via SNMP to obtain interface information, parse it, 
compare the results to DNS, then generate a report if it found a miss. It wouldn't be fully-automated, but it would be better 
than doing that portion of the work manually. Cleaning up dead entries would be another issue.
