GET /v1.1/<tenant_id>/os-floating-ip-dns/

# Sample Response: { 'zones' : [ {'zone' : 'example.org'} {'zone' : 'example.net'}]}

Create a DNS entry:

POST /v1.1/<tenant_id>/os-floating-ip-dns/

# Sample body: { 'dns_entry' : { 'name': 'instance1', 'ip': '192.168.53.11', 'dns_type': 'A', 'zone': 'example.org'}}
