Hi All,
I've run into a frustrating issue regarding DNS Dynamic Updating.
In a nutshell:
If I enroll a new client when the forward policy on a dns zone is set
to "disabled" I don't have a problem enrolling the client and updating
the dns record.
However if the policy of the zone is set to "only" or "first",
nsupdate fails during the client install. Install logs says nsupdate:
Specified Zone 'example.com <http://example.com>' does not exist
(NXDOMAIN).
I'm seeing this in multiple zones, and all I need to change to fix it
is to change the forwarding policy. However it's problematic as we
start the rollout, since we will need to rely on external dns until we
have all servers enrolled.
Client Install Log Snippet:
2016-02-02T22:53:17Z DEBUG args=/usr/bin/nsupdate -g
/etc/ipa/.dns_update.txt
2016-02-02T22:53:17Z DEBUG stdout=

Zone forwarders: 8.8.8.8

Any ideas on how to remedy this? I'd like to avoid updating records by
hand if it can be avoided.
Thanks!

Hello,
which version of freeIPA do you use?
If version is older than 4.1, then specifying forward policy and
forwarders cause that zone work as forwardzone thus, you cannot add host
there, because all queries ale forwarded to specified forwarders
(8.8.8.8) which does not know zone dev.example.com
If version is 4.1+ then nsupdate should work and it can be bug. However
I'm curious why do you need forwarding in master zone, what is the use case?
More details about forwardzones in IPA:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Forward_zones
IMO you need specify global forwarder to your external DNS server,
instead of adding per zone forwarders.
