After initial installation it should just work, as majority of features
on client is done by SSSD daemon that support SRV priorities.
ipa-client-install just set up services on client. Also please note,
when you use --server option with ipa-client-install will turn off
server autodiscovery in SSSD, so please don't use it.
only IPA CLI commands will ask random servers.

Thanks for such quick response.
Nice to know that it's "broken by current design".
Now I can sleep calm.
I'm interested if such initial setup against "wrong" IPA server can
have some negative side effects?
1. Like client in "DC1" will first ask try ask IPA in "AWS"
2. If we loose connection between DC1 and AWS - client in DC1 will
"lose his mind"
In simple words:
I want to make sure that IPA server chosen during install want be
evolved in further life-cycle of client host
Of course i'm not talking about disaster failover case, usual
operations when proper IPA is healthy and reachable
Thanks

Hello,
I have two datacenters. One is self hosted so all the docs are
working just fine. The second one is AWS.
I've managed to setup replica between "static" DC , "DC1", and
AWS "cloud" DC with all its problems.
There are still issues to solve within AWS.
But "static" which has Bind name servers is not working properly.
Client hosts are using my external DNSs, with proper zone
delegation to IPA.
And are slaves of zone delegated to FreeIPA - so they do receive
all updates from IPA.
Default TTL lowered to 5min.
Configured IPA locations.
During install ipa-client-install in "DC1" chooses wrong IPA
server, one dedicated for AWS.
And because of our security policies clients are not allowed to
communicate with AWS IPA - so installation completely fails.
At some point randomly of course it chooses correct IPA server.
dig on every host in network shows correct priorities and weights.
Below I will paste related configs outputs:
; auth.tld zone delegation
auth.tld. IN NS ipa.auth.tld.
auth.tld. IN NS dns1.tld.
ipa.auth.tld. IN A 10.200.10.9
ipa-aws.auth.tld. IN A 10.70.83.86
on client host, and every other dig looks like:
# dig +short _ldap._tcp.auth.tld SRV
_ldap._tcp.dc1._locations.auth.tld.
0 100 389 ipa.auth.tld.
50 100 389 ipa-aws.auth.tld.
or putting servers on different positions but still with correct
priorities:
dig +short _ldap._tcp.auth.tld SRV
_ldap._tcp.dc1._locations.auth.tld.
50 100 389 ipa-aws.auth.tld.
0 100 389 ipa.auth.tld.
[root@client-001 ~]# /usr/sbin/ipa-client-install
--domain='auth.tld' --principal='hostreg'
--password='xxxxxxx' --mkhomedir --no-sshd --no-ntp
Discovery was successful!
Client hostname: client-001.dmz.dc1.tld
Realm: AUTH.tld
DNS Domain: auth.tld
IPA Server: ipa-aws.auth.tld
BaseDN: dc=auth,dc=tld
Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: no
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
IPA client is not configured on this system.
I don't understand, why if dig shows correct priorities
information, ipa-client-install is choosing wrong server.
Looks like ipa-client install not treating priorities and is
choosing first ipa server from dig list.
Can't find out what I'm missing

Hello, ipa-client-install and IPA CLI doesn't respect priorities
so server is really chosen randomly. ipa-client-install will be
fixed in 4.6 to support SRV priorities.
SSSD on client however support priorities, so after successful
installation SSSD will choose correct servers.
Sorry.
