Hello Janelle, Thanks for confirmation! I added this knowledge to http://www.freeipa.org/page/Troubleshooting#Obsolete_RUV_records as it is definitely not an obvious fix to resolve the RUV issue. Please feel very welcome to extend Troubleshooting guide if you have other advise that could help others speed up their RUV investigation - you have definitely a lot of experience with them. Thanks!
