#2712 [IPA WebUI] Reorder DNS types in reverse zone: "PTR" should be first in "Record Type" select option
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 11 years ago by mkosek.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818302 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6)

Description of problem:
Based on my understanding and google result, the only record types can go under
reverse zone is "SOA" and "PTR". But current IPA implementation allows all
records goes under reverse zone. This creates confusing for user.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-11.el6.i686


How reproducible: always


Additional info: please check screenshot

Actually, all record types are allowed in DNS. We should not disallow them, just give a hint to user. SOA, PTR, NS and CNAME are pretty common in reverse zones.

I think item reordering in UI can be ideal compromise.

According to [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317|RFC2317] we can't limit reverse zones only to PTR records. I agree that PTR records should be on top of the list/user interface but other records should be available too.
