How to create IP address change notification out of GLPI?

Hello, in my organization there is a central network administration service and each client has a (DHCP-assigned) fixed IP address.
If I need to change an IP address or new PCs come in, I need to generate a DNS/DHCP notification message in a format like this:

hostname	IN	CNAME	hostname
		IN	HINFO	hostinfo
		IN	A	192.168.100.100
		IN	MAC	1a:2b:3d:4e:5e:6a

...and send it via email.

So I'd love to have a tool / model in GLPI to generate such messages (for copy+paste) or even send them out by email directly via GLPI.

I imagine to start from a single/multiple selection in GLPI's Inventory>Computers view and then Click "Action..." to open a "Generate DNS/DHCP change notification"-dialogue, somehow.

Ideally, when the dialogue is asking for the new IP address(es) for the client(s), it should check if the desired IP is free / reserved or just offer all free ones. I'm using the IP Adressing Plugin allready, but it just generates these big network based reports...

Do you have any tipps how I could accomplish this task? Is there maybe allready an existing plugin I could (ab)use for this?

Thank you in advance.

This feature will probably need a custom plugin development.
