Description Dmitri Pal 2012-04-17 15:41:26 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2633

Web UI currently offers A/AAAA/CNAME records as "Standard records" in DNS zone root record ("@"). But it generally does not make much sense to have these records in the zone record (especially for the CNAME record).

We should rather offer records standard for zone record, like NS, MX or LOC. CLI interactive help already does that. You can check it with:

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, this bug was not given a priority and was deferred both in the upstream project and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request in following Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, I am closing the Bugzilla as DEFERRED. To request that Red Hat re-considers the decision, please re-open the Bugzilla via appropriate support channels and provide additional business and/or technical details about its importance to you.

Note that you can still track this request or even contribute patches in the referred upstream Trac ticket.
