[Freeipa-devel] Design: Automatic Empty Zone handling in bind-dyndb-ldap

[Petr Spacek]

Hello,

recent improvements in FreeIPA 4.3.0 (finally) prevent FreeIPA installer from
creating made-up DNS reverse zones, which already exist on some other DNS server.

This change uncovered a well-hidden automatic empty zones in BIND 9.9+, which
is now causing problem to users.

It seems that this can be fixed by change to the code which handles forward
DNS zones. Short design document with necessary background is available on:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/wiki/BIND9/Design/AutomaticEmptyZones

Please be so kind and review it ASAP, so I can write the patch quickly and
make life of our QE guys easier.

Have a nice Friday.
