Description Sigbjorn Lie 2011-10-19 18:22:56 UTC

Description of problem:
When a fwd DNS records is created, no corresponding reverse record is created. Not for IPv4 or IPv6. Both forward and reverse zones are located on the IPA instance.

This would be useful for both IPv4 and IPv6, however it's almost a requirement for IPv6 records as the reverse IPv6 records are anything but easy to deal with manually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a fwd DNS record
2. Look for the reverse record
3.
  
Actual results:
Reverse record not created

Expected results:
A optional tickbox for creating the reverse record at the same time as the forward record is created.

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2011-10-20 13:11:27 UTC

One workaround is to add the DNS entries when creating the host:

$ ipa host-add foo.example.com --ip-address=192.168.100.1

Comment 2 Sigbjorn Lie 2011-10-20 16:11:57 UTC

Yes, this works when adding new machines. However from time to time I'm adding other types of devices to DNS too, like switches, printers, wifi access points, etc.

Comment 3 Dmitri Pal 2011-10-20 16:55:05 UTC

It would make sense to have an optional parameter to create a reverse record. Imo it should be a part of the new DNS management API Martin is working on.
