    name: 'dns_platform',
    all_platform_services: true,
    user: 'test_user',
    password: 'test_password',
    # The url must be the until the version
    url: 'https://infoblox-grid/wapi/v2.3'
)

# Create A record
e1 = MintPress::InfrastructureInfoblox::InfobloxDnsEntry.new(type: 'A', 
    name: 'rb4.primary1.com',
    values: '10.10.10.5'
)
e1.create

# check if the record exists
e1.exists?

# Remove a record
e1.remove

# AAAA record, ipv6 values
e1 = MintPress::InfrastructureInfoblox::InfobloxDnsEntry.new(type: 'AAAA', 
    name: 'rb4.primary1.com',
    values: 'd60:e32:f1b9::2'
)
e1.create

# Create CNAME
e1 = MintPress::InfrastructureInfoblox::InfobloxDnsEntry.new(type: 'CNAME', 
    name: 'rb4-cname.primary1.com',
    values: 'rb4.primary1.com'
)
e1.create 

# Create a PTR entry, ensure that the user has access to write to the IP zone.
# The code automatically converts this into %d.%d.%d.%d.in-addr.arpa format
e1 = MintPress::InfrastructureInfoblox::InfobloxDnsEntry.new(type: 'PTR', 
    name: 'rb4.primary1.com',
    values: '10.10.10.5'
)
e1.create

e1.remove

Similarly, other supported types can be created.
