Doc Text:	Cause: When setting up DNS a reverse zone was always created regardless of the --no-reverse option when installing in interactive mode. Consequence: A zone was being created that the user did not want. Fix: Create a reverse zone only if either it was asked for interactively or on the command-line. Result: The reverse DNS zone is not created when the user specifies either --no-reverse or answers no in the interactive installer.

Comment 4 Namita Soman 2011-04-28 08:11:14 EDT

Not seeing this issue any more when using ipa-server-2.0.0-22.el6.x86_64. Did this get addressed?

Comment 5 Rob Crittenden 2011-04-28 08:54:16 EDT

No, it isn't fixed upstream yet either. Note that this only happened in interactive mode.
