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 of problem:
If you attempt to add a valid host with the correct DNS domain and specify an IP address that does not match any reverse zone (do not select force), the UI gives you the option to cancel or retry.  

There is an error message that states "The host was added but the DNS update failed with: DNS reverse zone for IP address 10.10.10.10 not found"

Yet you have the option to cancel ... if you select cancel, the host is still added and so is the A record.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA with integrated DNS  
2. Identity --> Hosts ---> Add
3. enter a valid FQDN hostname and an IP address that does not match any reverse zone and select Add
  
Actual results:
Error message stating that the host record was added (no clue that the DNS forward record was added) - but given the option to cancel.

Expected results:
Error message stating that the reverse zone for the IP address was not found and to select force if you really want to add the records.  And an option to cancel (nothing added)
