IPA just needs a sane, available DNS server. It doesn't need to own it. There are some advantages to IPA owning the DNS server but as long as you're willing to maintain the records that IPA needs you'll be fine. If you plan to ever, maybe, even an outside chance want to integrate with an AD server via trust you'll want to pick a unique realm for IPA and a separate DNS zone (ipa.corp.example.com). Even without AD doing that it can still be a good idea. rob -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go To http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
