Hi Raonaveed,

IP assignment to domains and IP delegation to resellers are both complex tasks. And for that reason, it's probably best that your resellers use the WHM features as they are.

Details for xml-api:

1) listips. The reseller will need 'all root' reseller privileges to list the IP pool.

2) setsiteip. The reseller will need all root privileges to assign an IP to a domain.

3) There isn't a function to list delegated IPs for a particular reseller.

4) There isn't a function to manage delegated IPs for a particular reseller.

5) There isn't a function to list just domain and ip assignment. There is accountsummary, which will list all information for a particular account.

Details for command line:

1) you can find a list of IPs delegated to a particular reseller at:
/var/cpanel/dips/$reseller_name

2) there isn't a command line script to manage IP delegation. It is not advisable to modify /var/cpanel/dips/$reseller_name

3) there isn't a command line script to manage a domains ip. Changing the domain IP does stuff with Apache and your DNS solution (ie, Bind). It's not as simple as changing a text file.

That being said, I'm would think that the best solution would be to implement a WHM Plugin. It should be feasible to create one that could perform the functionality that you desire. The Plugin would need to:

1) Enforce a (custom) ACL for your resellers.

2) Utilize the xml-api calls that are available (listips, setsiteip, accountsummary)

3) Read /var/cpanel/dips/$reseller_name, and /etc/domainips to display IP delegation/assignment
