RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Petr Spacek 2015-01-20 14:21:42 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/155

= Problem =
== What does not work as expected? ==
Martin Basti discovered that PTR record synchronization does not work properly for updates with multiple A/AAAA records in one batch.

It can fail mysteriously if at least one A/AAAA record doesn't belong to a reverse zone managed by the plugin (or if at least one reverse zone is not properly configured for [[BIND9/SyncPTR|SyncPTR feature]]).

This bug does not affect cases where everything is properly configured.


== Steps to Reproduce ==
* Configure a test zone which will contain A/AAAA records
* Enable dynamic updates for given zone
* Enable [[BIND9/SyncPTR|SyncPTR feature]] for given zone
* **Do not** create reverse zones
* Send a dynamic update with multiple IP addresses in one batch. These addresses should not belong to any reverse zone configured for SyncPTR feature. E.g.
{{{
$ nsupdate -g
update add a4.example.com 666 IN AAAA ::1
update add a4.example.com 666 IN AAAA ::2
update add a4.example.com 666 IN AAAA ::3
send
}}}

* Result: Only one record will be added to LDAP and the rest will be ignored.

The problem equally applies to deleting multiple records at once using:
{{{
update del a4.example.com IN AAAA
}}}
In that case only one record will be deleted.

This bug was documented as part of rebase bug 1204110.
Comment 5 Namita Soman 2015-10-13 19:09:21 UTC 
Verified using bind-dyndb-ldap-8.0-1.el7.x86_64 and ipa-server-4.2.0-12.el7.x86_64

Steps:
* Configure a test zone which will contain A/AAAA records
# ipa dnszone-add --name-server=mgmt9.testrelm.test. --admin-email=ipaqar.redhat.com --serial=2010010701 --refresh=303 --retry=101 --expire=1202 --minimum=33 --ttl=55 newzone
# ipa dnsrecord-add newzone arecord --a-rec 1.2.3.4
# ipa dnsrecord-add newzone aaaa --aaaa-rec='fec0:0:a10:6000:10:16ff:fe98:193'

* Enable dynamic updates for given zone
# ipa dnszone-mod newzone. --dynamic-update=TRUE
# ipa dnszone-mod newzone. --update-policy='grant * wildcard *;'

* Enable [[BIND9/SyncPTR|SyncPTR feature]] for given zone
# ipa dnszone-mod newzone. --allow-sync-ptr=TRUE

* **Do not** create reverse zones

# ipa dnszone-show newzone --all
  dn: idnsname=newzone.,cn=dns,dc=testrelm,dc=test
  Zone name: newzone.
  Active zone: TRUE
  Authoritative nameserver: mgmt9.testrelm.test.

  BIND update policy: grant * wildcard *;
  Dynamic update: TRUE
  Allow query: any;
  Allow transfer: none;
  Allow PTR sync: TRUE
  aaaarecord: ::4, ::3, ::2, ::1
  nsrecord: mgmt9.testrelm.test.
  objectclass: idnszone, top, idnsrecord


* Send a dynamic update with multiple IP addresses in one batch. These addresses should not belong to any reverse zone configured for SyncPTR feature.
# kinit -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab host/mgmt9.testrelm.test

# nsupdate -g
