Hi,

Are ipa1 and ipa2 configured as DNS servers? This can be checked with
kinit admin
ipa server-role-find --role 'DNS server'
(since the replication doesn't seem to be working, please check the
commands on each server).

If they are configured as DNS servers, is there a forwarder configured?
kinit admin
ipa dnsconfig-show
ipa dnsserver-show ipa1.sj.bps
ipa dnsserver-show ipa2.sj.bps

If they are not DNS servers, what is their DNS client configuration?

Are there any errors related to replication in
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<YOUR-DOMAIN>/errors?

You can find a few things to check in
