NorthStar is a system to help track and allocate IP Addresses in an IP Network. My company currently uses this system to track and maintain all of it's IP Allocation and to some extent tracking things such as Out-of-band access ports, Remote Power Control ports, DNS information and other information that can be related to a specific device. NorthStar was written in Perl and should be fairly portable to most platforms.
This is by no means a complete list of features that NorthStar provides, however should give a good idea of what the system can do
Tracking of IPv4 address information (IPv6 is in the works)
Hierchical Tracking that ties every assignment back to a specific Device, Location, and Owner
Customizable Templates for each object type
Assignments can be nested without any limit (for instance and /19 can be split into 2 /20's and so on)
User permissions systems that allows specific users to only perform specific tasks
Address range creation (assign 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.128 to a specific Device and Owner and automatically assign DNS information (ppp-X-X-X-X.dialup.network.net)
Ability to set status of a block (Allocated, Assigned, Reclaim, Blocked)
Network Allocation Wizard that automatically picks a specific size block to be assigned
Much more that i'm probably forgetting ;-)
