During FreeIPA setup: Forwarder does not respond

2

While trying to set up FreeIPA I get the following error:

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
==============================================================================
This program will set up the FreeIPA Server.

This includes:
  * Configure a stand-alone CA (dogtag) for certificate management
  * Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
  * Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  * Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  * Configure Apache (httpd)
  * Configure DNS (bind)

Warning: skipping DNS resolution of host ftpserver.mdrexl.net
The domain name has been determined based on the host name.

Checking forwarders, please wait ...
ipa         : ERROR    Forwarder 62.141.32.3 does not work
Forwarder 62.141.32.3 does not respond
FreeIPA server configuration failed.

I checked and found that the IP address is simply the first entry of my /etc/resolv.conf. And it is indeed the correct IP address of one of the specified nameservers as provided by the admin interface for my root server.

The origin of this setup is this docker container.
