IPA DNS is by default configured with 'fake_mname' with server hostname, which replaces all SOA MNAME records (answers) with this value.
In case that a user want to change SOA MNAME via IPA API, this change is propagated to LDAP, but named still uses fake_mname value for every SOA MNAME.
To allow use the SOA MNAME value in LDAP, user must remove 'fake_mname' from named.conf.
Otherwise this may lead to false positive bug reports.
We may warn user that by default fake_mname is used, when he/she will try to change SOA MNAME (dnszone-mod --name-server). We already have there a warning message.
