FreeIPA is not an authoritative source of IP addresses, this is job for DHCP server or any network management system. I don't think that we should sort numerically as DNS names works with bytes, so ASCII sorting is better. Nothing prevents you to use non-numeric domain with PTR RR type. > > Anyway, what methods are there to know what IP address to use when adding a > new > DNS record? Did I overlook something? Usually when you are adding a new A record, you know for which host it belongs, so you should use the IP address of the host. > > BTW.
