Removed the entry and re-ran ‘makedns -n’ but entry still appears in an 
nslookup and dig search. I also checked the named.conf and don’t see any 
reference to that zone, but it is in the db file for the forward lookup  zone 
in /var/named.

I don't think it will cause to provision the compute node.
anyway, you may remove `169.254` ip address from network table, then run 
"makedns -n ", that should get rid of "169.254" address from named.conf

the nameserver in the /etc/resolv.conf on the compute node will be 
"192.168.247.254", it based on the xCAT master ip address.

That is correct, the entry is still there after the makedns -n command. The 
problem is going to be that any service especially on the compute nodes that do 
a DNS lookup for the name may get the incorrect address to use and fail.

Any errors you are seeing caused by this entry? I think for xCAT, it will use 
eno1 (192.168.247.254) as dhcpd/tftpd/http server interfaces.

the makedhcp error message is from ipv6 defined in the network table

looks like idrac is the interface name for `169.254` ip address, do u use ipv6 
ipaddress? can u replace it with `169.254` ipv4 address in the network table ?

after make changes, run `makedns -n` to created new named conf file and restart 
named service.

the `domain` name define in the site is different from `nslookup` output.
from the site table, the /etc/resolv.conf file should looks like

can u show me "ip addr show" ? is your makedhcp command working?

can u able to get rid of 2 external namservers? if not, put your local name 
server before external nameserver. I assume you local name nameserver is xCAT 
MN's ip address

check your /etc/resolv.conf, you can get rid of 169 ip address and use head's 
ip address, then run makedns again.

CentOS 8
xCat 2.16

When running makedns there is an entry created for an entry that is not in my 
/etc/hosts. The effect of this is that the head node has 2 entries in the local 
DNS cache. One for its private IP address (in /etc/hosts) and one for the other 
address which is not reachable by the compute nodes. The other IP address is 
just used by the HW management utilities for internal communications and is a 
169.x.x.x address. How can I tell xCat/makedns to not create this entry?
