Okay I am making some progress with this, currently just trying to get one server running
before I add any failover. Thanks for the help so far.
Currently the freeipa server "ipa1" (
ipa1.intra.example.com) seems to be working
it can resolve hosts on the LAN either with a short hostname or a fqdn hostname.
[root@ipa1 ~]# nslookup
frisell
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name:
frisell.intra.example.com
Address: 10.1.10.193
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name:
frisell.intra.example.com
Address: 10.1.10.193
==> so far so good.
However on another computer on the network, the same thing doesn't work even though it
is asking the same DNS server (10.1.10.15 = ipa1)
jdunham@mahavishnu:~$ nslookup
ipa1
Server: 10.1.10.15
Address: 10.1.10.15#53
** server can't find ipa1: NXDOMAIN
Server: 10.1.10.15
Address: 10.1.10.15#53
** server can't find
ipa.intra.example.com: NXDOMAIN
Server: 10.1.10.15
Address: 10.1.10.15#53
Name:
ipa1.intra.example.com
Address: 10.1.10.15
frisell
Server: 10.1.10.15
Address: 10.1.10.15#53
** server can't find frisell: NXDOMAIN
Server: 10.1.10.15
Address: 10.1.10.15#53
Name:
frisell.intra.example.com
Address: 10.1.10.193
It this a client problem or a server problem?
