I think the most likely pain points would be the ipa tool and certmonger. certmonger will use the IPA configured in /etc/ipa/default.conf, so as long as you ensure that points to one of the other masters you'll probably be ok. But that is only on the clients. On the master itself renewal of the IPA server certs will likely fail. The ipa tool, which by default also uses default.conf, will fail over to other masters, but you might notice a delay. What might be a better idea would be to firewall it rather than shutting down the service. rob _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
