I managed to get subdomains working after adding the subdomain to the IPA DNS and filling in the various SRV records pointing to the IPA master. After the DNS was setup properly, DNS discovery would display the correct subdomain on ipa-client-install. After the DNS discovery was successful, also sudo started working properly on most servers. As I specified sss for sudoers in nsswitch.conf and added the necessary configuration to sssd.conf as described in the RedHat documentation, I was able to sudo the commands I had enabled in the IPA policy. That's great! Some servers are still, however, causing headache. According to /var/log/secure sudo can authenticate me, but for some reason the list of allowed commands is empty (sudo -l responds "Sorry, user xxx may not run sudo on yyy."). I have defined sudo rules so that anybody can use sudo on any host, but only certain commands. I'll try to debug the problems and let you know how it goes. The caching mechanism for sudo/sssd and especially clearing the cache with sss_cache has turned out to be somewhat challenging to understand. Does anybody know the correct parameters that cause the sudoers cache be invalidated? Thanks also to everybody else for replying to my message!
