Hi Jon,
This is a feature request
http://bugs.racktables.org/view.php?id=639 to add support in Racktables for
Overlapping subnets that is starting to gain some traction ☺ and there are
various threads in the list archives about this:

Please add your interest to this feature request on the bug
tracker

Subject: [racktables-users] Multi-site support for overlapping subnets
Hello racktables-users,
I have been tasked with finding a solution to our IP management across multiple
sites. We are currently using Rackatbles for one of our sites. Everyone is
impressed with it so we would like to add more sites into our IP management.
The problem I am running into is that we run essentially the same vlans/subnets
in the various sites but I'm having trouble adding two objects with the same
IP. I know you can tag an object with a location, but that doesn't seem to
differentiate it enough that the IPs can overlap.
Essentially we have:
Site 1
vLAN 100
Site 2
vLAN 100
Site 3
vLAN 100
10.10.10.1
site 1 gateway
10.10.10.1
site 2 gateway
10.10.10.1
site 3 gateway
10.10.10.4
site 1 printer
10.10.10.4
site 2 printer
10.10.10.4
site 3 printer
10.10.10.5
Jane PC
10.10.10.5
Bob PC
10.10.10.5
Steve PC
The current thinking is that we could stand up one instance of racktables for
each site then come up with some front end that leverages the API. My major
problem with that is that I don't think it will scale very well. Three sites
now, but what about when it's 10 or 100... that's 10 different databases to
maintain, 10 different installations...
I'd appreciate and thoughts, suggestions, etc., on how you manage multi site
racktables installs.
Thanks,
Jon A
