+Naming Conventions for Records
+==============================

+
+Naming Conventions for records
+Right now we have a single format to define FQDN for records created
+through designate sink.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+At present there is only one format we can define for both IPv4 and IPv6 ips.
+If a user want to have different naming convention for records created through
+Sink service, we do not have a way to do that since there is only one option
+in designate.conf where we define the FQDN format.
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+In designate.conf we should give an option under the Sink configuration where
+we can define two different formats for IPv4 and IPv6. Similarly we need to make
+appropriate changes in sink code under designate/notification_handler/ for
+base.py, nova.py and neutron.py
+
+The  new format options in designate.conf would be "formatv4" and "formatv6".
+
+To help users from older versions, we will still support "format" which will
+work for IPv4 addresses. "format" or "formatv4" can be used interchangebaly
+but if both of them are defined then "formatv4" will be accepted along with
+a Warning message.
+
+SINK Changes
+------------
+
+Base.py, nova.py and neutron.py needs to be changed to get the format type from
+designate.conf. The new formats that we need to get are formatv4 and formatv6 which will
+now be implemented in designate.conf.
