Hi,
I am setting up a 2 node FreeIPA system. One primary and the other is a replica. I want
the replica to use the cloud DNS nameserver as a forwarder. In Google cloud,
169.254.169.254 is the nameserver. But when this is used as a forwarder I get the
following error,
ipa-replica-install: error: option --forwarder: invalid IP address 169.254.169.254:
cannot use link-local IP address 169.254.169.254
Google Cloud does not provide a global DNS name resolver.
Anyone knows why ipa is unhappy about link-local IP address? The closest explanation I
could find is here
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6296#comment-327224, but I am unable to
understand the context of it.
It's useful to include the version of IPA you're using when asking
questions.
I assume you are on 4.6.x. This is addressed in 4.7.0+ with
