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 Dmitri Pal 2011-03-02 16:52:35 UTC 
When user installs a new DNS instance on a replica, no new NS records are added to the zone. Admin must do so manually.

It would be nice to have this documented for 2.0

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1034

Jakub, please add more details to this BZ.
Comment 1 Jakub Hrozek 2011-03-03 09:12:19 UTC 
We discussed this issue yesterday with Simo and agreed that we probably can't fix it for 2.0 GA, so we should at least document this for the time being and fix later - so please bear in mind that we're describing a faulty behaviour that would change in a future version.

When a replica is installed, it doesn't contain a DNS server by default even if the master does. Admin must install the DNS instance manually with ipa-dns-install.

The problem is, that the current code wouldn't add a NS record for this new name server into any of the managed DNS zones. The admin must add them manually using "ipa dnsrecord-add <zone> @ --ns-rec <replica-with-DNS-FQDN>".

As with ordinary NS records, the FQDN must really be fully qualified (=end with a dot, for example ns.example.com.) otherwise Bind would treat the hostname as relative to the domain.
