Of course it all depends on what you alreadyhave and what you exactly
want to do.

I just want to comment that I don't believe in any 'standard' tool for
this purpose. This for the simple reason that one will probably want to
hook management of IP (v4+v6) addresses in that big customer & network
management system that you hopefully already use. Having chunks of
information here and there and all over the place is not going to scale
(then again everything in a single thing doesn't scale either of course)
not last for a long time, when there is something else you want to do
with that data.
As such, just integrate it into the system you already have...

Greets,
 Jeroen
