It works, I added an output of ping command to show that

I know, but there must be a way to fix the host if an admin forgot to 
add this option. So, ideally, I should be able to create a host, then 
add a dnsrecord, then add a service. Now, obviously it's not the case:

root at f22master:/home/ofayans]$ ping trololo.pesen.net
PING trololo.pesen.net (192.168.122.200) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- trololo.pesen.net ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

root at f22master:/home/ofayans]$ ipa service-add someservice/trololo.pesen.net
ipa: ERROR: Host does not have corresponding DNS A/AAAA record
root at f22master:/home/ofayans]$ ipa dnsrecord-show
Record name: trololo
Zone name: pesen.net.
   Record name: trololo
   A record: 192.168.122.200
