Description Jenny Severance 2010-01-26 20:31:45 UTC
Description of problem:
When executing ipa-server-install --setup-dns in interactive mode, you are asking the following confusing question:

Enter IP address for a DNS forwarder (empty to stop)

The "empty to stop" is a bit confusing.  I think a better way to handle this is to first ask a y/N question as to whether you want to set up forwarders.  If "N", just move on and if "y", prompt for a DNS forwarder IP address.  Ask if they want to define another... prompt for address, etc ... and just enter when done.

Rob, this issue was not yet addressed. The patch is on the list but wasn't acked so far.
