IP Management Tool?

[WalkedAirplane]

This is a pretty simple question if anyone has experience on this:

What does everyone use for IP management? My current company is using an excel sheet, and it's VERY ineffective - and more importantly, I'm about to launch something of my own, and want to start on the right foot there. All I need is the ability to take a pool of IP addresses, allocate them to a server ID / customer ID (cutomer ID optional), and keep it centralized.

Anyone care to make a suggestion? I've found phpip which seems pretty nice, but input is even better.

A simple database would be a step up from a spreadsheet. How massive is the pool of addresses you are keeping track of?

At work? 3x /24 subnets.

My gig? A single /27 subnet.

If you throw it into an Access database you can match up ip addresses or ip address ranges with a server and/or customer id. It'd be easy to search if you want to pull up a single customer and see what is allocated to him or enter an ip address and see who owns it.

I've never done this professionally so take my advice with a grain of salt but it works great for the scenarios i've set up for personal practice.
