I just installed an freeipa server (with an master replica) for our infrastructure. For the freeipa domain I used an subdomain (of our real domain) e.g. "internal.foobar.com", and made two A records for the nameservers ns1.internal.foobar.com,ns2.internal.foobar.com for my subdomain, and those nameservers are my freeipa servers.

But the problem is that those A records (for the nameservers) don't resolve to an IP adress, when I try host ns1.internal.foobar.com I get "Host ns1.internal.foobar.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)". But if I try to resolve a specific client on my freeipa domain, like test.internal.foobar.com it resolves it fine (most of the time - sometimes it timesout). I was just wondering, is this problem something that I configured badly or is it something on the dns register side?

Tnx, Tom

From the description, it looks like you are missing glue records in foobar.com for NS servers for internal.foobar.com. See What is a glue record? for details.

  • I've got the two A records for my nameservers, and those are the glue records... – Tomislav Mikulin Jun 19 '19 at 09:29
  • Your glue records need to be located in foobar.com, not in internal.foobar.com. You can add ns1-internal.foobar.com pointing to IP address of ns1.internal.foobar.com and then mark ns1-internal.foobar.com as your NS record for internal.foobar.com. – abbra Jun 20 '19 at 07:47
  • that's exactly what I did, the two domains aren't separated I left it all in the foobar.com domain...the internal.foobar.com is just an ns record for the nameservers... – Tomislav Mikulin Jun 21 '19 at 05:44
  • I was an idiot and read you answer wrongly, it worked with the A record of ns1-internal.foobar.com instead of ns1.internal.foobar.com....tnx – Tomislav Mikulin Jun 30 '19 at 16:14
