Description Jason Balicki 2012-04-09 19:33:15 UTC

Description of problem:

The existing documentation seems to indicate that zone entries need to be added to a zone file whether the end user is using the included DNS server or an external server.  The current content is:

"Once the installation process completes, update the DNS entries so that IPA clients can discover the new server. For example, for an IPA replica with a hostname of ipareplica.example.com:"

This should probably be changed to indicate that this is only necessary when not using the included DNS server.

I'm stealing this, since I handle the Fedora docs.

Comment 3 Deon Ballard 2012-06-26 22:21:48 UTC

I think this is properly addressed now in step #5 of creating a replica:
