Description of problem: Since ipa does not support native LDAP based DNS slave mode, some organization are adding file based slave DNS conifgurations in /etc/named.conf i.e. adding include "/etc/named.external.zones.conf"; where out-of-band slave zones are configured. However, ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install overwrites named.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. alter named.conf 2. run ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install 3. find named.conf with removed include statement Actual results: Expected results: include statements in /etc/named.conf should be preserved when running ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install Additional info: Slave DNS support via LDAP was NACKed in upstream ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5364 Configuring named.conf is a nice workaround.
Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5858
Fixing it will require replacing legacy regexes with proper named.conf parser, e.g. augeas. It is out of scope of upcoming 4.4 upstream release and therefore the upstream ticket was triaged in "Future releases" milestone.
