It would matter if you would not use DNS autodiscovery as client use just the provided list of IPA servers to communicate with. However, if you use DNS autodiscovery, client (SSSD), will first use a (random) IPA server from the list of autodiscovered servers via DNS SRV records. You can verify in your sssd.conf: # grep ipa_server /etc/sssd/sssd.conf ipa_server = _srv_, vm-052.example.com When no DNS SRV record is found, it should fall back to the replica it was configured against. Things would change when DNS sites RFE is implemented and you could focus clients only to geographically close servers: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2008 Thanks, Martin _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
