Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2012-10-26 13:49:50 UTC

Tomas has been unable to reproduce this, see the ticket for details.

Can you re-test this?

Comment 2 Namita Soman 2012-11-02 15:22:59 UTC

We see this intermittently. will ping Tomas when we see it again

Comment 3 Tomas Babej 2012-11-29 17:53:07 UTC

I was not able to reproduce this on QA machine using automated DNS tests (where the issue originally came from) multiple (10+) times during the last weekend on current nightly build. QA is to run whole test suite and determine whether the bug can be verified.

Comment 4 Namita Soman 2012-11-29 18:04:19 UTC

Will mark this verified for now. tests were done using ipa-server-3.0.0-8.el6.x86_64

Comment 6 Tomas Babej 2012-12-05 15:32:07 UTC

I got hold of the machine where the issue is reproducible. Turns out this comes up when the server is not configured to look at its own DNS records (probably because /etc/resolv.conf was rewritten by a network tool). Adding nameserver 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf and restarting solves the issue.
