Hi Rob,
Thank you for your valuable insights on FreeIPA and DNS. I have an existing
internal DNS server that I would like to integrate with FreeIPA's DNS
feature. As I understand it, FreeIPA can serve as an integrated DNS
solution. However, I would like to ensure that my existing internal DNS
infrastructure is utilized alongside FreeIPA's DNS capabilities.
Could you provide guidance on how to configure FreeIPA to work with my
internal DNS server? Specifically, I'd like to achieve the following:
- Use FreeIPA for centralized user authentication and management.
- Integrate my existing internal DNS server with FreeIPA's DNS, so I can
manage internal DNS records within FreeIPA while maintaining the internal
DNS functionality.
I want to avoid any conflicts between FreeIPA's DNS and my existing
internal DNS server. Your expertise in this matter would greatly assist me
in achieving a successful and well-integrated DNS solution.
Thank you for your time and support.

I'm not sure what security issue you are worried about but you
explicitly allow this configuration with the --allow-zone-overlap
install option.
Your domain DNS is managed externally and you've installed a DNS server
to be authoritative for the same domain. If you want to expose you IPA
DNS to the Internet you'll need to repoint the nameservers on your
domain to your IPA host.
If what you're hoping to do is provide views, to limit what hosts are
resolvable depending on where the request is coming from, that is not
available in IPA. While IPA uses bind under the hood not all
capabilities are exposed.
So whether this configuration is acceptable or not is up to you.
