Related to ticket #1194
When installing with the DNS server, as long as the FQDN of the server hostname exists within the DNS domain being set up, we should skip enforcement of the reverse lookup.
Right now, this means that in order to set up a completely new domain in FreeIPA, we need to bootstrap it by adding it to /etc/hosts.
I am not sure we should do that. This will create all sorts of other problems. I would rather make the install script have a flag (or just logic) that would add the host to the /etc/hosts under the hood itself if it is not already there.
May be just document...
I think we don't have to do anything. After #1246 is fixed (I have sent a patch this morning), reverse/forward DNS check will no longer be required when user installs IPA server with DNS or with --no-host-dns option.
--no-host-dns
BTW, the install script indeed automatically adds a record to /etc/hosts (when it cannot verify what IP belongs to the server host name).
Closing the ticket as ticket #1246 solved this issue too. The reverse zone check is not required when IPA server is installed with --no-host-dns or --setup-dns now.
--setup-dns
