Hi Petr, Top level means the root zone of the various DNS trees we serve. For example, h5g.com would be the root and dev.h5g.com, test.h5g.com, etc., would be the subdomains. Our subdomains query fine, but any hosts in the root domain no longer resolve.
An example of an unresolvable name is IPA itself: ipa.h5g.com. Here's output from dig: root@ipa ~]# dig ipa.h5g.com ; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7_2.3 <<>> ipa.h5g.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 52405 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ipa.h5g.com.

We have 100 zones defined, including forward and reverse zones — all active. We do use DNS forwarding, but in a very unsophisticated way: we set up the forwarders to go to Google if our DNS can't resolve a name.

I'm not sure what to look for in the various log files but I don't see any obvious errors. I thought perhaps this might have some guidance https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2015-July/msg00102.html, and maybe it does, but I'm not sure how to rescue my top-level domain names. Hi, we can certainly debug this but first of all, please clarify what 'top-level' means. If you really want help please do not obfuscate any DNS names. It often hides real problems while not improving security in any way. (BTW you do not need to hide domain names like 'NY5-EXMB1.High5.local' because these already leaked through e-mail headers :-) So, here are the important questions: 0) What name is unresolvable? $ dig the.problematic.name.example. 1) What is the expected result from "dig"? 2) What DNS zones are configured in IPA? $ ipa dnszone-find 3) Do you use DNS forwarding? (--forwarders option during IPA install or commands ipa dnsforwardzone-*, ipa dnsconfig-mod etc.) -- Petr^2 Spacek -- 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
