Bug 872372

As a result changes in version 2.1 global forwarders specified in configuration file /etc/named.conf are ignored. I will fix that.

In meanwhile please use global forwarders in LDAP - it works.

workaround by mkosek in IRC:
 "ipa dnsconfig-mod --forwarder=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2 " should do the trick

Verified.

would override settings in local named.conf files

Restarting the web server
==============================================================================
Setup complete

Next steps:
	1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
		TCP Ports:
		  * 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
		  * 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
		  * 88, 464: kerberos
		  * 53: bind
		UDP Ports:
		  * 88, 464: kerberos
		  * 53: bind
		  * 123: ntp

	2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
	   This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
	   and the web user interface.

Be sure to back up the CA certificate stored in /root/cacert.p12
This file is required to create replicas. The password for this
file is the Directory Manager password


[root@rhel6-1 ~]# less /etc/named.conf
...
        forward first;
        forwarders {
                192.168.122.1;
        };
...

[root@rhel6-1 ~]# ipa dnsconfig-mod --forwarder=$DNSFORWARDER
ipa: ERROR: no modifications to be performed

[root@rhel6-1 ~]# dig +short download.devel.redhat.com | grep $DOWNLOAD_DEVEL_IP | wc -l
1

So, without using a workaround, I can resolve outside of my own IPA domain now.  Looks good.

FYI, had to mark comment 0 private.  This is FYI only, not an issue since the 2.3-1 release.  

Here's an edited version of comment 0:

Description of problem:

IPA servers with DNS enabled and a forwarder specified are seeing forwarding not work with bind-dyndb-ldap-2.2-1.el6.x86_64.  Before this (version 2.0) it seemed to work fine.

Is there something new that needs to be done to enable this properly now?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-dyndb-ldap-2.2-1.el6


How reproducible:
Very...we're seeing problems with fresh installs and upgrades

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install IPA Master server specifying a forwarder
2.  Lookup a hostname outside of the IPA DNS domain.
3.
  
Actual results:

fails.
