You could script that a number of ways using the cobbler cli or it's
xml-rpc api. You could parse your hosts file and use the cobbler cli
to add the hosts or you could do the same asking dns for that
information. If you can manually add a single host to cobbler with
the cli you'll see how you can do that in a loop and then it's just a
matter of giving it the right arguments. I wrote a import script to
pull from a mysql database with a custom schema into cobbler over
xml-rpc. You could modify the mysql parts and add some get from dns
or hosts file parts. Hopefully it's a helpful reference for your
importing fun.

Hi all,
Is it possible to perform a "mass import" of hosts?
We currently have all our hosts in /etc/hosts as well as DNS and I'm
wondering if there is an easy way to import these hosts into Cobbler so
we can start to manage the DHCP for the entire network via Cobbler.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
