Description Jenny Severance 2011-07-14 17:00:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you attempt to add a valid host with the correct DNS domain and specify an IP address that does not match any reverse zone (do not select force), the UI gives you the option to cancel or retry.  

There is an error message that states "The host was added but the DNS update failed with: DNS reverse zone for IP address 10.10.10.10 not found"

Yet you have the option to cancel ... if you select cancel, the host is still added and so is the A record.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA with integrated DNS  
2. Identity --> Hosts ---> Add
3. enter a valid FQDN hostname and an IP address that does not match any reverse zone and select Add
  
Actual results:
Error message stating that the host record was added (no clue that the DNS forward record was added) - but given the option to cancel.

Expected results:
Error message stating that the reverse zone for the IP address was not found and to select force if you really want to add the records.  And an option to cancel (nothing added)

Verified using ipa-server-2.1.3-8.el6.x86_64

There is no option to cancel. Only OK button, then host is added with its dns record
