I am in the process of switching a small network over from a DNS hosted on
a pfSense firewall appliance to one handled by FreeIPA. I haven't got a
lot of expereience with DNS in this regard. When I made the cut over,
everything seemed to work except for a trio of websites all hosted from
this one server. When I do an nslookup on the webserver's domain name
using the pfSense is shows:
16.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa name =
webserver.cpms.byu.edu.
The same query but using the FreeIPA DNS shows:
16.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa name =
webserver.cpms.byu.edu.
16.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
I'm not sure what is causing the difference in the responses.
In the zone
cpms.byu.edu, I have an A record for webserver with the IP
address 1923168.1.16.
In the zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa., there is a PTR record 16 for
webserver.cpms.byu.edu
Any thoughts?
