I understand that, what I'm asking is "Is --server required to be configured somewhere for 'normal' ipa use?" I can use -server on the command line. It also seems I can choose to disable SRV lookups when doing ipa-client-install after the SRV lookup fails. Is there anywhere else that I need to configure it? I guess I assumed that if ipa-finduser does a SRV lookup that just using ipa for authentication would also do a SRV lookup. Is that not the case?

The reason for this is so that ipa can auto-detect which server is available or least-loaded. With the DNS-based SRV records, it can easily load-balance between replicas. If you're not using replicas and DNS, you should use the --server option.
