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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-2.2.0-3.el6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Cause: IPA server does not allow to create DNS zones with conditional forwarding which lets the name server to forward all request to these zones to a custom forwarder. Consequence: IPA DNS plugin has a limited capability in a conditional forwarding support compared with plain text files. Change: IPA DNS plugin now allows user to create a DNS zone and set a conditional forwarder and a forwarding policy for the zone. Result: User can create conditionally forwarded zones both with a plain text configuration and IPA configuration stored in LDAP server.

Description Brian Cook 2011-11-12 21:40:33 UTC 
IPA should support BIND forward zones, conditional forwarding based on the domain suffix of the name trying to be resolved, in addition to the global forwarders that it already supports

For example, all records that end with
someDomain.example.com forwarded to 10.0.0.1

It would be nice to be able to prioritize forwarding.  Global forwarders and conditional forwarders could be ranked in a list box like

someDomain.example.com -> 10.0.0.1 (conditional Forwarder)
* -> 192.168.1.1 (Global Forwarder)

from BIND manual:
A "forward zone" is a way to configure forwarding on a per-domain basis. A zone statement of type forward can contain a forward and/or forwarders statement, which will apply to queries within the domain given by the zone name. If no forwarders statement is present or an empty list for forwarders is given, then no forwarding will be done for the domain, canceling the effects of any forwarders in the options statement. Thus if you want to use this type of zone to change the behavior of the global forward option (that is, "forward first to", then "forward only", or vice versa, but want to use the same servers as set globally) you need to respecify the global forwarders.
