#5691 DNS Forward create reverse Fails
Closed: Invalid Opened by mrjester.

Closed: Invalid
Reopen Issue

New install on Fedora 23 with FreeIPA 4.2.3 fully patched. Integrated DNS with forward, v4 reverse and v6 reverse zones.

IPA server is dir0.mrjester.net
IP is 10.8.10.40

Adding a forward record to setup a replica. Get the following error.

[root@dir0 ~]# ipa dnsrecord-add mrjester.net gw0 --a-rec=10.8.10.41 --a-create-reverse
ipa: ERROR: Cannot create reverse record for "10.8.10.41": DNS reverse zone in-addr.arpa. for IP address 10.8.10.41 is not managed by this server

The reverse zone IS managed by the server and is the same zone created at install.

[root@dir0 ~]# ipa dnszone-show 10.8.10.in-addr.arpa
Zone name: 10.8.10.in-addr.arpa.
Active zone: TRUE
Authoritative nameserver: dir0.mrjester.net.
Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.mrjester.net.
SOA serial: 1456194573
SOA refresh: 3600
SOA retry: 900
SOA expire: 1209600
SOA minimum: 3600
Allow query: any;
Allow transfer: none;

Creating the PTR directly works fine.

Hello,

can you please post output of following command?

dig -x 10.8.10.41

and

dig 41.10.8.10.in-addr.arpa. SOA

result should be the same

I no longer have this issue. My only guess is, it was related to an issue where dir1 didn't have the correct DNS resolver settings. Ticket can be closed as not a problem.
